Don't we all come up against bumps in the road that make our journey difficult?
Have you ever felt like screaming with frustration?
Being upset or annoyed because of the perceived inability to change or progress a situation or achieve something is really a waste of time.
Failure may look likely, but perhaps you have not yet actually been defeated. A frustrated mind goes hand in hand with negativity.
You may have faced a challenge in meeting goals you’ve set for yourself, accenting weak points you perceive yourself to have. What changes do you have to make to reduce those frustrations?
Realize it is a natural human emotion that we’ll all feel at one time or another, although not a pleasant one.
If you feel yourself getting frustrated with a situation, don’t react immediately. It is best to make a rational decision about how to move forward in a chilled mindset that is based on reality.
Give yourself the time to calm down since a frazzled mind will most likely lead to undesired consequences and more frustration.
A frustrated person might appear upset, annoyed, or angry, raging against what might seem like an unfair or impossible situation.
Put your frustrations into well thought out words that will help you really understand what’s going on inside your head. Putting how you feel into words could possibly make it easier to make a rational decision. Write about it.
Ask yourself why the situation has caused these feelings of frustration and possibly trace it back to its roots. Honest understanding is a key to a rational decision.
Perhaps the way you’ve approached the frustration has not really been the best way to put a positive spin on the situation.
Realize that there are things in life beyond our control . . .
Serenity Prayer
God, grant me the Serenity
To accept the things I cannot change
Courage to change the things I can
And wisdom to know the difference
