Anger Management -- The Middle: Post 10

Today, I was looking through websites instead of my books for a change of pace. I came across some great advice on MayoClinic on their page http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/anger-management/MH00102. They suggested a few ways of relieving inner tension. One of their best suggestions was to exercise since it releases endorphins to your brain and makes you naturally happier. I really liked this tip because, other than avoiding things that make me angry, this is one of the only tips I've found that I can use BEFORE I get angry. It's something that, in theory, if I do it often, it should make me less tense and I'll get angry less often. Not to mention, it's good for you. So it's a double good.
In fact, I HAVE noticed that since I stopped having parking on campus and I've been walking fifteen minutes from my car to the school and then fifteen minutes back again, I've felt slightly less tense. Even though it's freezing cold outside. But then again, I could just be thinking that because I want it to be true.
