We’ve all been there. You’re more than a little bothered that things aren’t going your way. Maybe they only have one checkout line open at the grocery store, or you’re steamed that you can’t seem to sink a putt from outside of two feet. Perhaps you’re maddeningly close to achieving a goal but you can’t quite get there. It almost seems like people and life are conspiring to test our ability to deal with frustration. It’s enough to make you feel like you might lose your mind.
Frustration can drive you mad if you let it. Examine your feelings and determine if there’s a solution you can implement. Sometimes, there’s nothing you can do about a frustrating situation. In that case, the best you can do is to manage your emotional state. When a solution exists, calm yourself and put your solution into action. Relaxation techniques can be a big help. Also, frustration can be a positive sign that you’re about to make a breakthrough, so bear with it, get past it, and see what’s waiting on the other side for you! The funny thing is… that as I write this to share with you I can help but to tell you… these 8 strategies are used in our karate classes to help our students learn how to deal with frustration.
