Punching is definitely not the greatest way to control your anxiety or anger.

But punching a bag is a solid workout that can cause you to feel better, as exercise is known to do, while also giving you that physical outlet.

Some people play games, some spend time with their family or read a book or watch a movie.

But investing into a bag, even just a self standing bag can be good for you.

Conditioning yourself and taking any form of martial arts can also kick off a way of life that can be better too. Karate has the spiritual aspect, for example, and any martial art will teach you to focus yourself and keep you from injuring yourself when hitting things.
