What to do when you’re freaking out

The therapists of the world like to say you should “sit in your feelings” and resolve them but I find that not every feeling is valuable and sometimes I just need to be redirected. This article could apply to anger, anxiety, sadness, or any other emotion that you want to channel into something productive! You’ll end up getting a lot done and by the time you’re finished, the bad mood has usually somewhat lifted.

  1. Clean your bathroom
  2. Clean your kitchen
  3. Cook a new recipe, preferably one with lots of chopping
  4. Write down everything that’s bugging you
  5. Go for a walk
  6. Go for a run
  7. Reorganize your desk
  8. Clean your fridge
  9. Write a blog post on redirecting your day πŸ˜›
  10. Start any home project you’ve been putting off
  11. Wipe down your baseboards: to be clear, this is a task that can ONLY be completed when you’re angry
  12. Wash your walls: another great RAGE task
  13. Laundry
  14. Get inspired, download Pinterest again
  15. Workout
  16. Read a book you already love
  17. Wash your dishes
  18. Bake something
  19. Do any and all of these tasks while listening to a great playlist!
