You've been given some good advice. I prefer physical exertion in a good way - i.e., working (digging) in a garden, exercise, or singing at the top of my lungs to a song that matches my emotions. Sometimes it helps to sing at the top of my lungs to a song that is completely opposite to my emotions. It may come out sounding sarcastic, but it seems to help - it passes the time. Sometimes it helps to trigger a more peaceful emotion.
Rage is just an emotion - it won't last forever because it's exhausting and it can make you feel "dirty." Sooner or later you'll want to take a bath. It's not worth hurting yourself or anyone else during this time. Try to find a productive and constructive way to release that rage to bring you back to a more balanced state of mind. When the emotion (rage) is over, you'll have less of a mess to clean up. You might even find yourself more balanced and stronger to handle any future bouts with rage.
