Actually I think that any activity you do helps to "forget" about the pain. If you concentrate in describing a picture, during those seconds you are not thinking about the pain itself. Afterwords, human being mostly just can walk and talk at the same time, but not much more

What is for sure is that swearing makes you calmer. You "expulse" from you your intimate thoughts, so a double therapy: kill tha pain, and say truths about your boss in the way
