Let it all out mindfully.
Theres something so real about seeing a kid have a tantrum in public.
Adults could use a little more of that energy.
Heres what to know about these adult tantrums, and how to give them a try.
This physical release can also include stomping around the room or listening to loud music while vocalizing your frustrations.
And it can also help reset your nervous system.

If venting to a friend or overthinking hasnt helped, it might be time to tantrum.
Painting, coloring, or scribbling can also transform agonizing thoughts into a physical release, she says.
If you have a tennis ball and an open wall, try giving it a toss.

Just as effective, and its free, she says.
