Writer’s Block: Feeling Better

• Writing/playing music
• Listening to music
• Exercise – taking a walk, lifting weights
• Writing in my journal about it. If I'm mad at a person, sometimes I'll even write a letter to the person but never send it – just so I can let it all out. Other times, I do send it to them.
• Talking to an understanding friend/family member about what happened
• Going out and being around people so I am not at home and forced to constantly think about what I'm upset about.

The following would probably be considered bad ways to feel better when a person is upset. But I do it in moderation:

• Alcohol
• Shopping
