To kick start a bad day.
Frustration is not a new thing in our everyday life.Frustration is an emotional response to circumstances where one is obstructed from arriving at a personal goal. The more important the goal, the greater the frustration. It is comparable to anger and disappointment. Sources of frustration may be internal or external. Internal sources of frustration involve personal deficiencies such as a lack of confidence or fear of social situations that prevent one from reaching a goal. Conflict can also be an internal source of frustration when one has competing goals that interfere with one another. External causes of frustration involve conditions outside the person such as a blocked road; or conditions linked to the person's actions but not directly such as lack of money, or lack of sexual activity.
Some frustration can and do come from a bad joke or especially when the recipient of the joke takes the matter seriously or cannot differentiate between a joke and what's not a joke. Frustration in a relationship is never a good thing. It makes matters worst when both side are stubborn and hot head. But also not to be ignorant, both sides are to blame for it.
But no worries, there are ways to deal with frustration and below are some few samples of how to deal with frustration:-
- Lower your expectations. Most peoples' frustrations stem from their disappointment of things not working out the way they anticipated. If you are constantly being let down and are becoming frustrated because of it, evaluate how much pressure you put on yourself, on others and on situations in your life.
- Accept life as it is. One thing is guaranteed in the game of life, you will be dealt a bad hand from time to time. Devote a small amount of time to thoughts of the difficult situation or period in your life, and focus on what you can do to change your current state of affairs. Your feelings of frustration will always take a back seat to creative emotional energy.
- Take nothing personally. People develop frustration over being let down by someone, cut off in traffic, shouted at by a loved one or any one of other common things. Nothing any one says or does should be taken as a direct affront to you. People have their reasons for the way they act, and, though it may seem it at times, their behavior has nothing to do with you and everything to do with their emotional mind-set at the time you crossed their paths.
- Take time to put the situation into perspective. If you begin to feel yourself becoming frustrated, go somewhere quiet and think about if the situation is worth being upset. Chances are when you contemplate whatever it is, you'll realize that in the grand scheme of life, it's just not that important.
- Take slow, deep breaths at those times when you're feeling frustrated. Your body will begin to calm, and the mind will soon follow.
Even with some ideas on how to deal with frustration, it depends on the individual. - How long would it take for him/her to get over the frustration?
- What would he/she do when facing frustration?
- How does he/she overcome it?
- How does he/she wants to overcome it? Destructively or creatively?
- Will or is he/her dwelling on the frustration emotional train and riding out and thought everything in life?
Is a mindset where everybody needs to make a choose about it and needs to make a choose on how to solve it. For me, I usually pend up my frustration which turns into anger and with that angry mindset, I would just release my aggression on some unlucky bastard who cross my path that try to make it his day. Or I could always do what I always do, lower my expectation to the point of couldn't care or give a rat's ass about it. It is also know as giving up because the thought of "what's the point?"," get over it" and as well as "grow up" does comes to my mind...People including me at times say things when we are frustrated because when we are angry usually we follow what's our heart wants to say not our brain....
But I'm trying to change, to be a better person. Hence the first step to me is to take a step back, give a long and hard thinking of what I've done and apologize for it.
