{Mark Petuska of Mark My Words blogger and novelist shares his insights on his blog about the passionate things in life that matter! His one question for me is “What is your favorite song of all time, and why?” This one was tough. I’m still thinking about it. So until I have it figured out I’m sharing with you my list of songs that I use for anger management.}
I would like to pretend I am very zen and I can ohm my way through anything. But sadly this is not necessarily the case. I try to be calm and carry-on, smile when I’ve peeved, and walk away from confrontation. Every now and then my annoyed smile disappears, an angry rumble begins to roll in my belly, my fists begin to clench, and there is only one thing I can do to contain my anger from bouncing to a heightened emergency warning of ten.
Play My Music Really Loud! Obnoxiously Loud!
My Top Ten List of Music for Letting the Aggression Out:
10) Bruise Violet, Babes in Toyland
9) Speed Machine, Nashville Pussy
8) Dirty Boots, Sonic Youth
7) Stupid Girl, Garbage
6) Caribou, The Pixies
5) Lithium, Nirvana
4) Shitlist, L7
3) Best of You, FooFighters
2) I Love Myself Today, Bif Naked
1) Bad Reputation, Joan Jett
Music can be very therapeutic especially when added with an aggressive workout or speeding on the highway in your car. Sometime hard and fast is the only way to go! Scream it, Jump it, and let it all out! If anyone is within my vicinity while I’m listening to any of this list it is best for you to slowly back away from the stomping woman and let her do her thing.
Do you let it all out to certain songs when you are miffed? Do you have one song that you would add to the list?
