So in the age of not using food for comfort, what techniques do you use to calm down when in your head you want to punch your bosses lights out?

I hate some of the nonsense on my job, especially when management outright lies/twists the truth so they don't look stupid in front of their boss. Frankly the nonsense was enough to screw with my sleep & I hardly let nonsense bug me like that.

So how do you calm down & find your Zen place?

Running and yoga help me a lot.  Singing can also work.  

But... yeah.  It's hard these days, I've got too many things going on.

I get in the car with my music (usually classic rock like Boston or Heart) cranked up to nose bleed level.... and I drive.... with no particular destination.  I sing at the top of my lungs , chair dance, and do lots of hand motions (like drumming to Phil Collin's "In the Air Tonight")  LOL!

Works for me!

PUPPY!

I'm so thinking of getting a puppy, but I'd feel guilty leaving him alone with my 2 cats. I was thinking of maybe getting a shelter dog, that has been in a house with cats, but again, I'd hate to leave him alone while I'm at work. I live in an apartment, but there is this guy that walks a dog for his neighbor friend, maybe he'd do the same for me. I so want to go on a road trip & bring a dog along for the ride. 

Definitely when I retire though, I'll get a dog.

A puppy is a lot of work, especially if you work.  A shelter dog is an awesome idea, especially if they are a couple of years old.
