shred them. Researchers had students submittheir opinions in different things, including social
issues, for example, should smokingbe allowed in public? They were told
experts would evaluate their opinions get backto them, but they were all given
the same response, designed to makethem angry. It said, I cannot
believe an educated person would think likethis. I hope the person learned something
while at the university. The studentswere then asked to write down how that

(00:44):
made them feel. Some of themhad to hang on to the paper while
the others tossed it or shredded itand rated how angry they felt before and
afterwards. Study found writing down madehim feel a little bit better, but
shredding the paper made a big difference. The ones who basically did it felt
no anger at all. Afterwards.So there we go. If you feel
angry about something, write it downand then shred it. It'll make you

his teeth. Other gross things theirpartner does that we've come to accept.

all the time. He makes hism and ms and skittles in a bowl
and eats them together. I don'tthink that's gross. I mean, if

in bed with him, and thedog regularly pees the bed. Okay,
