How to deal with frustration

             I still have so many pages of the book to read for my class tomorrow. But when I try to think the results of the efforts I make, I get depressed. I am frustrated by the imbalance between my effort and accomplishments. My will power is affected. My motivation is inactivated. I again tend to be rebellious of my own self by doing things that I want to do rather than doing things I am supposed to be and must be doing.

             I shouldn’t be taking a break from the field of academics for lately, I am always outside of its boundaries. However, this time, I realized that it would be the last break which I would take for this semester. I should continue on pushing myself forward despite of the unexpected hurdles on my path. Anyway, nobody would save me from this quagmire of helplessness except my one and only self.

             After minutes of freedom from the cruelty of reality, I let my heart and mind wander to search my lost self buried down the deep hole of frustration.

            I am thankful to http://thespiritualhealth.com/meditation/how-to-deal-with-frustration.htm, I was able to struggle frustration and has saved myself from being nonprolific and time wasting. 

              It has shared me 8 tips on how to deal frustrations namely;

1. Check the positive points in the situation: It is all mental stress and the way you think. When we get caught in some problem, it is human nature to get anxious and start thinking all negative things. Instead of thinking about all the good things we tend to start thinking about the various barriers and the hurdles. This is where we go wrong. Thinking negative things during such situations will only drag you into a bigger problem and more frustration. Thus, to solve the barriers, you should think about all the positive points that are functional in that situation.

2. Always keep work life statistics while working: When we get deeply engrossed in our work, we start forgetting about the various aspects that need to be kept in mind always for a simple way through the problem. Thus it gets important that you keep along your work life statistics that will keep reminding you about the percentage work completed and the various things that need your concern. Through work life statistics, you can also very easily cover all the aspects of your work without missing a single aspect and thus strengthening your probability of success and hence indirectly avoiding frustration.

3. Keep yourself focused on your goal: Many a times, when we get too engrossed in our work, the main aim of our work simply slips off our mind. However, keeping your aim in mind always keeps you on your track of success. It will help you to stay focused on your work and also achieve the required result. Thus in this way, you can again overcome the possible frustrations that may be caused due to these problems.

4. Solve the smallest hurdles: Always remember that one small problem if not solved at the apt time always leads into a bigger problem that might not get solved very easily. Thus it gets very important that you solve all the problems when they are small and simple. Sometimes, even a small problem can entangle you for a very long time and thus faint your possible success. Thus, to ensure your success rate and avoid any kind of frustration related to it, you should always solve even the smallest problems.

5. Figure all the possible options: Every problem has not one, not two but many solutions which just need to be understood and realized. Thus, when you face a small problem, you should make your brain think about all the possible solutions or options that can be possible. Also, you should imagine well ahead about the consequences of each of the options that you are planning to follow. Thus, once you have a clear idea regarding all the options and their consequences, you can easily avoid frustration.

6. Keep working: Usually with a few failures in the kitty, our basics simply stagger. This is not correct. No matter the failures you have faced, you should keep working to gain success in your path. Thus, with the will to work hard and gain success, you will definitely achieve your targeted goal. By working towards your aim in spite of the failures, you will surely gain success and thus also avoid any chances of failure.

7. Think positive: No matter your results, you should always think positive about your situation and the work. If you lose your heart and mind, you will never achieve your target. Even if you have the power to accomplish your task, you won’t be able to achieve it if you give it up from your heart. So, simply think positive and avoid any possible chance of frustration in life.

8. Keep rechecking all your steps: Finally, you should always keep a check of all your work done and also recheck their functioning so as to avoid last minute worries and tensions. If you are confident about your work, then there is no looking back and thus no loop holes that might lead you to frustrations. So, work hard and keep a check on them to avoid problems or worries.

            If the thread is tangled and the impossibility of fixing it is greater than its possibility to be fixed, don’t sacrifice the whole length of the thread. Try to save the unaffected part of the whole length by cutting it from the tangled part. It is better to have the saved part of the thread than letting yourself lose the whole length of the thread without allowing yourself  do something about it.
