Dealing with frustration
Dealing with frustration Nora Femenia, Ph.D There are plenty of sources of frustration in our lives!
1st Step: Detach Take nothing personally. If you get frustrated because someone let you down, or a loved one did something aggressive to you, calm down. You should detach from anything people do, even as it looks like they directed that phrase as a direct affront to you. People have their reasons for the way they act; their behavior has nothing to do with you and everything to do with their emotional mind-set at the time you crossed their paths.
2nd Step: Take perspective Accept life as it is. In the game of life there are not guarantees, and you could be dealt a bad hand from time to time. Identify previous difficult moments in your life, and remember what you did then to get out. Now, you know what you can do to change your current state of affairs.
3rd Step: Play the game of life! Recognize that you can be the frustrating entity for someone else We are learning in life by our interactions, and here the lesson is: dont get wrapped up in frustration: Ask yourself What do I have to learn here?
4th Step: Your Lesson Now you are happier because you have transformed frustration into learning Its good to be wiser, because you will not yield to the feelings of frustration again So keep breathing deeply, and enjoy your new lesson!

Testimonial from an abused wife "I wish I had know from the beginning what I know now. I feel things would have been so different, and I would been spared the amount of pain, drama and humiliation I suffered in my married life, since according to him: "everything was my fault, of course. I was a perfect personality type to be the victim of an aggressive boyfriend, as my mother and other relatives were too in my childhood.

Denise Withers, Pennsylvania
Testimonial from a person lacking self-respect I was in a miserable situation. I never understood what I did to deserve being yelled at by my husband and made fun of when he was drinking with his friends. I would make myself sick from crying; both my body and heart were tired and I was completely unhappy. I didnt understand that I had an obligation to myself to stand up and say NO to this behavior in my husband and by any other person. Nora, you gave me the right to defend myself with grace. Now, hes actually apologizing to me and being gentler and attentive! Terry Nichols, Naples, FL
