It is hard to tell where frustration comes from in our lives because none of us goes out to seek it.
Perhaps it is easy to second guess ourselves and say we could have prevented it from happening.
The fact of the matter is it is something that has to be dealt with.
Below are some simple methods of over coming frustration to ensure that we do not let it eventually grow into something worse.
1.
Change of environment It is important to change our scenery immediately when frustration sinks in.
Staying in the same place makes it harder to think outside what we face.
A change of environment or scenery always helps to elevate our thoughts and allow us to see clearly.
This does not mean moving country or house.
What is important is not staying in the same place and carrying on regardless of how we feel.
2.
Giving This is psychological.
What usually makes us frustrated also makes us believe that we are worthless at the time.
Our worth at that moment cannot be measured by our own efforts because our minds block all positive thoughts as a result of the frustration.
At such times giving means we receive positive feedback from elsewhere that strengthens our worth and brings back confidence.
This is an excellent and very effective antidote for frustration.
Giving also makes us less thoughtful for ourselves and the situation we're in and more thoughtful for others.
3.
Distractions Depending on what made us frustrated we must find another means of changing the sounds in our heads.
Music can be an antidote if it wasn't music that made us frustrated.
Watching a film or even inexpensive shopping can be an antidote.
If we have the strength then exercise or dancing is a fun way of getting rid of frustration.
Even taking a bath or shower at such times could come in handy.
The point here is that we need to be distracted and have our brain functioning on something other than what made us frustrated.
It is best not to carry out something over challenging at this point this could set off alarm bells that start a different kind of frustration.
Whatever we do has to be relaxing.
4.
Faith and Prayer This is a bonus especially if we believe in God as we would know that this period would come to an end and it serves a purpose.
God has an answer for bad times and good times and knowing him makes it easier to see through the darkness.
Also when no answers can be found anywhere it is time to seek higher help.
This is the most important solution to any problem.
Prayer helps us find balance and understanding.
It also makes us believe that we have passed on our problem to someone wiser than us.
