Sometimes, you don’t need a therapy session to get all the bad feelings out.<\/p>\n

You need to smash a TV with a sledgehammer.<\/p>\n

Maybe your pet died. Maybe you’ve had a terrible day. Maybe your ex texted you “Hey stranger” after 6 months of no contact, and you’re considering throwing your phone directly out the window and into oncoming traffic.<\/p>\n

Whatever the reason, there are some surprisingly great ways to burn off that rage in Lubbock before you do something you might regret.<\/p>\n

5 Ways To Burn Off Steam in Lubbock<\/p>\n

1. Smash Stuff\"aPhoto by Carrie Borden<\/a> on Unsplash<\/a>a close up of a broken glass window<\/p>\n

You can head over to Shatter Shack<\/a>, where you can safely destroy a list of breakable objects in a rage room setting.<\/p>\n

Raider’s Axe Gallery & Entertainment<\/a> also has its very own Cage of Rage, where you can take a sledgehammer and go to town on old electronics, glass, and ceramics. 10 minutes in that cage is only $25, and you’ll come out feeling like a new person.<\/p>\n

Trust me…<\/p>\n

2. Throw an Axe\"AxePhoto by Annie V<\/a> on Unsplash<\/a>Axe stuck in a wooden target board<\/p>\n

Axe throwing is much more soothing than you might think.<\/p>\n

Grab Axxes Self-Pour Draft Haus & Eats<\/a> has your back. For $27.50 an hour, you can throw axes to your heart’s content.<\/p>\n

You’ll also find axe throwing at Raider’s Axe Gallery, so if you stop by the cage of rage, make sure you hit up the axe throwing area afterward. Two birds, one stone.<\/p>\n

I wonder if they’d let you use your ex’s photo as a target.<\/p>\n

Never hurts to ask…<\/p>\n

3. Throw Paint All Over The Place\"scatterPhoto by Mathias Reding<\/a> on Unsplash<\/a>scatter chart<\/p>\n

806 Splatter<\/a> offers protective gear and paint that you can literally throw all over the walls, canvas, and apparently your friends too if they don’t mind.<\/p>\n

Try staying mad while you and your pals are covered in neon paint.<\/p>\n

4. Bowling, Anyone?\"whitePhoto by Ella Christenson<\/a> on Unsplash<\/a>white and red wooden toy<\/p>\n

Dude, bowling is badass when you’re mad.<\/p>\n

Throwing the ball. The crashing sound when it makes contact with the pins.<\/p>\n

Bowling was basically made for break-ups.<\/p>\n

You’ve got plenty of places to choose from in Lubbock. I’m partial to South Plains Lanes<\/a>. I love cosmic bowling on Friday and Saturday nights.\u00a0AND, it’s WAY more fun to go alone than to go with your cruddy ex telling you they are bored every 7 seconds.<\/p>\n

Ugh. Grow up.<\/p>\n

5. Jump It Out\"aPhoto by BenMoses M<\/a> on Unsplash<\/a>a man is doing a trick on a trampoline<\/p>\n

MaxxAir Trampoline Park<\/a> has wall-to-wall trampoline action for all ages.<\/p>\n

Stop by and jump off some of that pent-up energy.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, the best way to put yourself in a better mood is to become too exhausted to care anymore.<\/p>\n

And, If None of These Work?<\/p>\n

Take a shower. Eat a snack. Put your phone down.<\/p>\n

Do not text your ex. You will thank your future self.<\/p>\n

You’re gonna be just fine. I promise.<\/p>\n
