The Hulk had it right

Remember the Incredible Hulk?  Scientist David Banner is hit with excessive gamma rays.  Whenever he gets angry, he becomes the Hulk, a massive green creature in ripped clothing storming through the streets, wrecking havoc on everything around him.  Then what does he do?  Instinctively, he separates himself from whatever angered him and goes for a run.  After a while, he begins to calm down and eventually becomes mild mannered David Banner again.  Its simple, but it works.  Never been hit with gamma rays?  Sure you have.  We all have.  Ever had a bad day at work, received an email that just made you want to slap some sense into the sender, got an unexpected bill, or just felt completely unable to not sweat the small stuff?  We all have.  We are human just like scientist David Banner.
So, whenever you feel like turning big and green, wrecking havoc you might regret later, take a hint from him.  Separate yourself from whatever angers you and get some physical exercise.  Go for a walk, a run, ride a bike, or just clean something.  Its easier to deal with stress as a David Banner, than it is as a Hulk.
