Getting past being “Big Mad”

Getting past being “Big Mad”

Mar 18, 2025

Ever have a meeting or a phone call that leaves you wanting to just punch drywall or something? Because I sure do! I had one today, so I thought I’d share how I’m avoiding property damage.

I debriefed with a coworker to try to get it out and put thoughts into words, and kind of swore a lot. It helped!

When I got home, I started some tea. Tulsi, linden and wood betony today for some stress support and it’s just yummy. YUMMY IS IMPORTANT!

I took a couple droppers of tincture. I really like some bitter stuff to try to break that swirling felling that can happen with Big Mad. I had some blue vervain, and another bitters blend with prickly ash to try to diffuse the emotional knot in the center of my body. If bitter isn’t your thing, try sour! The flavor is delightfully distracting and a lot of sour friends like cranberry and hibiscus are cooling…even to hot heads.

It’s super gross and slushy outside, so I’m opting for jumping on a mini-trampoline indoors over a walk. I’ll still go hang out on the patio while my tea steeps!

I lit some incense that I really enjoy. Don’t underestimate the power of smell!

Don’t let the Big Mad keep you down. Please share your favorite tips for averting post-meeting apocalypse!
