Gwyneth Paltow’s Anger Release

Gwyneth Paltrow has advice for anyone who might need an outlet for their anger. The Shakespeare in Love actor revealed during an Instagram Q&A Monday (January 29th) that she hits things with a plastic bat in order to feel better.

“My executive coach actually suggested that I get a plastic bat off Amazon. Sometimes when I feel really stuck with anger, I just hit stuff,” Paltrow said in response to a fan’s question.

The Iron Man actor thinks “developing a practice to release anger” is especially important for women “who were raised that expressing anger was not ladylike and not something that we should do.”

She added, “I still am not great at it. But it’s an incredibly important part of my mental health, to release anger in a healthy way.”
