In the final season of Seinfeld, George Costanza’s father, Frank, is diagnosed with high blood pressure and he’s told to deal with that by saying “serenity now” when he feels himself getting angry.
In typical Frank fashion, he doesn’t say serenity now, he screams it over and over again while looking skyward and raising his hands.
In life, if you have moments where it seems like screaming would be a really good solution, consider these three options.
One is deep breathing exercises.
The second is meditation.
And the third is stretching exercises.
While screaming “serenity now” may feel great in the moment, those other options are probably better long-term solutions.
