LOL Kendyll - that's still kinda productive. You're a human trash compactor - garbage men probably love you.  I would suggest you be careful though. If your neighbors see you breaking plates in your back yard, they might be hesitant to attend a pot-luck dinner at your home - might not ever see that plate again.  
Talking is good too - especially with someone you trust who can serve as a sounding board, or one who has endured similar storms in life.
You can also write out your rage privately to yourself - whatever comes to mind. When the storm is over, you can go back and look at your words more objectively. Sometimes it can help you pinpoint the source of your rage - if you can learn to read between your own lines. Very often, what triggers our rage is not the source of our rage - it's just a reminder of something else. If you can pinpoint the source of your rage, you might be able to find a way to remove it from your life. If not, you can work on ways to live peacefully with whatever thorn happens to be in your side.
OR.....you can read those past angry words and have a good laugh at yourself - maybe even give yourself an A for throwing a doozy of a hissyfit.
