Is it possible to turn anger into a positive?

I’m mad at the world lately. It’s for many reasons. I’ll admit I’m a very spiteful and revenge-oriented person. I’ve always tried to get…..more than “even.”

Things perceived as personal attacks have usually led to me fucking YOU more than you tried to fuck ME. But the current adversary seems to be more “the world” than something I can simply finger as an asshole person.

Lately, meaning the last few years, I feel like I channel my anger as revenge. For instance, I used to hit the gym pumping exciting and enjoyable music to maintain and/or tone myself. Fun music and good vibes to get that lift up. It’s not the same anymore.

Now, in the past few years, I feel more motivated to stay “powerful”, at least optically, to intimidate anyone I receive as a threat.

The reality is, I’m targeting gains in physique and finance as a way to make perceived “threats” take a step back. My most “productive” days would be fueled by any emotions my Lord and Savior would approve of.

Is it even possible to be angry AND make quality “gains” in life?

Exercise. For me lately it's a hard phonk playlist, my weight bench, my treadmill, ab wheel, ab straps, pullup bar. I do HIIT and switch between lifting and cardio and various equipment. The weights were picked up for free on craigslist years ago and i paid 100 bucks for a quality treadmill from a fat chick moving cross country that was clearly never used. Also get a punching bag if you can. Channel your anger into technique and developing skill.

Positive vibes but I do these things angry. I used to do all these things to move forward and be someone who could help people.

I don’t feel anything more, lately, than to be able to crush my perceived “enemies.” I’m not helpful like I used to be. I’m mad and cutting people off. It’s not healthy. And I know it.

In that case. Try hot yoga. i'm dead ass serious. they have places that crank the temp up like a sauna. It works your body in a completely different fashion. The heat lets you zone out and just forget your problems. Plus it does wonders for complexion and skin. The stress relief you feel as well.

I’m paying attention. I’ll have to see if that’s available anywhere near me.
