The Tennis Racket Release
Marriages don't last without passion. And passionate people are
bound to clash at times. One of the secrets of a healthy relationship
is to find a healthy way to get rid of your frustrations (without directing
them at each other).
Behold the power of the Tennis Racket Release. All you need is an
old tennis racket, a pair of gloves, and a soft pillow to whack!
What You Need:
- One tennis racket
- A soft pillow (placed on a bed)
- Privacy
What You Do:
- Whack! the pillow with the tennis racket. Let your racket temporarily
become an extension of your feelings. Use it to release anger,
hurt, and resentment - right here and right now!
- Every time you whack the pillow, let out a yell... Don't hold back
(call out the name of the person you are angry with, scream the event,
yell at God, say whatever you want) You can swear, cuss, use foul
language - the pillow has no feelings.
Side note:
The Tennis Racket release is a great little stress reliever I learned
while participating at one of Colin Tipping’s Radical Forgiveness
Workshops.
