How To Cope With Frustration

By Amanda Baird


Frustration is a normal feeling that people will have in their everyday lives simply because of all the stress that they are undergoing. Frustration may stem out from work related issues, relationships, or even just personal conflicts. The great thing is that this kind of feeling is only temporary and there are so many ways to be able to cope with it or handle it properly.

Take note that the best way to get rid of frustrating thoughts would be to stop having a lot of high expectations so that there will be less disappointment. Remember that if one sets too high of standards for himself, then he will be very angry if he does not meet those standards. So in order to avoid becoming angry at himself, he should set his boundaries lower.

When one has lower expectations for himself, then he will be able to accept himself as he is and be able to excel from there. The next step after lowering expectations will be acceptance of oneself. Once one has accepted the way he is, then he will not need to set his bar so high and will just live his life the way he wants to.

If a person lets down another person, then the one that was let down will definitely feel frustrated as to why he trusted that person in the first place. So aside from not expecting from oneself, one should also not expect much from others.

Always remember that instances of frustration will never ever completely be eliminated because stress will always be present in the life of every person. Now one great way to deal with stress and negative thoughts would be to have a moment of silence. Thinking deeply is one way to not only relax the mind but also try to come up with a solution on how to fix the problem.

Crying is a good way to let it out because it out because this way will allow a person to release all of the pent up feelings and thoughts. Another good way would be to do some strenuous activity so that one will be both distracted and tired out to think about negative thoughts.
