Venting isn’t good
Don’t vent.
Venting is bad advice because it starts with a premise of our emotions being outside of ourselves. As if your emotions should “be seen but not heard.”
When someone tells you to go away and stops listening to you, do you stop acknowledging them?
No, usually, you plot your revenge.
Our emotions are the same way. They are a part of us. They aren’t invaders.
As such, I pose a different strategy here: acknowledge.
Take a moment and breathe. Your anger isn’t going anywhere, although once accepted, it will give you room to think.
Remember, venting is a treadmill.
