Week 7 Discussion 2

Frustrations cannot be avoided . They exist simply because we cannot control everything that happens in our surroundings . From misplacing our keys to having to deal with people who cannot live up to our standards frustration can consume our energy and patience . However , we do not have to waste our time being frustrated when we deal with the situation in a better way

One way on how to deal with frustration is to accept things . We have to learn to accept and understand that we have no hold of

every thing in this world . We cannot direct the weather when we want it to rain or shine . We cannot stop time when we are running late for an important business meeting . On the contrary , we can accept that the weather is too bad for a trip to the mountains or that a meeting will have to go on and start without us . Accepting is much easier than fighting the things that are already there

To be able to accept the situations presented to us , we also have to be open-minded . Keeping our mind open to sudden changes in our plans or that not everyone is like us makes it easier to be positive and understand what is wrong . When we fully understand the things that are going on around us that we have no control of , we would not waste our time feeling frustrated

The best way to deal with frustration is to voice out what we are feeling . We can either talk to the person involved or to anyone who has the time to listen to us it does not matter just as long as we vent out . Talking makes people understand why we feel this way , and it can also improve relationships and how we interact with others

I would not recommend keeping your feelings to yourself because it will only make the situation worse . Not letting others know that you are frustrated by their actions will affect how you see things , how you deal with others , and the way you present yourself to the world
