Face it: bad moods are dirty business. When you’re in a really bad mood, there’s no way to paste an award-winning smile on your face and pretend everything’s cool while your guts are corroding with spite.
And being that we are in the midst of another Mercury in Retrograde, which gets most of us in quite a wad for awhile. Events from the past rear their ugly heads, forcing confrontation and resolution, which can be difficult. Electronic devices go completely haywire, so choose the earthly, grounded method if possible even if it seems like it will take longer. It won’t.
Throw a little PMS into the mix, and we’ve got some real fun.
Here’s 4 Gratifying Ways to Work Through a Bad, Bad Mood
- Throw a big tantrum. Write letters seethed in hate, with swearing and heavy doses of useless bitching included. No one will ever see it, so go nuts. Then destroy it (see #3).
- Have a biscotti snack. It’s the gnawing and angry crunching that really does the trick. Don’t bother trying to make it yourself. It is doubtful that baking will be any assistance to you when you feel like this.
- Scribble and Shred. Get yourself a big, bold marker and scribble really hard. Slam the tip onto the paper to the point where the ink splatters. Tear it to shreds. Throw all the pieces. Leave it on the floor.
- Move your body, fast and furious. Run down the street. Do an interpretive dance to death metal. Head to the swings. Take it out on that mountainside.
For more mean and nasty ideas, get yourself a copy of Throw A Tomato. If nothing else, it will make you laugh.
