Believe it or not a lot of people use puching bags to relieve anxiety and anger. Fondly, Phillipa

It works for me. Try a boxing gym. They can be very friendly un-macho places especially with the boom in "white collar boxing". Great stress reliever, incredible work out - it makes me more serene than church does and I walk out feeling over the moon.

I met someone on a plane once who teaches karate to kids with ADHD. She says, and I've seen abstracts of studies (reader beware, I didn't read the actual studies) that seem to validate this effect.
I would imagine the mindfulness and physical control are very helpful.

Hmm, I should get back to yoga, then. And I had to learn to juggle in high school for a class. I bet I could pick that up again, too.
Because "grace" is NOT my middle name.
