One of the most important determinants of success in life is the ability to deal with despair and frustration, overcome them and look at the glass half full
When you feel frustration and disappointment, you are in pain and feel negative feelings for a period that may be longer or shorter, but if you learn how to deal with frustration in a healthy and beneficial way, you will reduce your psychological pain and frustration may turn into a starting point or an experience that you learn from and have more personal growth. There are keys that improve our ability to cope and recover quickly from the disappointments and frustrations that are an integral part of our daily life, and here are some steps to help you overcome frustration and feel better:
Accept what you feel
Frustration hurts, yeah you know it. All you have to do now is accept this matter and try to adapt to reduce this situation. Do not hide your feeling of pain, as this may cause more pressure. I know that you will feel sadness and pain for some time, and this is normal, but accept the matter and thank God for everything, and remember that every bad experience will pass and will end, and do not make your feeling of pain last for too long.
Look for the positive aspects of frustrating matters
When you are exposed to a frustrating experience, this does not mean that you are a failure or that you will always be frustrated, but on the contrary, you will avoid the reasons that led to your frustration or not surviving in something in the future. Know that in life's journey, you can not only choose happy experiences and situations, but you can choose your reaction, so passing through feelings of frustration is a natural thing that all people are exposed to, even successful people are exposed to difficult situations and feel frustrated, but they do not give in to this feeling.
Do not repeat expressions of despair and frustration
You will not be a failure or frustration unless you decide to do so, do not say I am a failure and do not repeat frustrating phrases in your ears and call yourself pessimistic descriptions, in which case your subconscious will deal with them as facts and you will find it difficult to overcome frustration or success in life in general. Your life, go on, do not stop, avoid past mistakes, learn from them, and you will get better and overcome it.
Learn from your experience
You can learn from your experience useful and important things that will help you in personal growth instead of being absorbed in pain and negative feelings. You can do this by asking yourself better questions such as:
What did you learn from this experience?
How can I avoid this in the future?
What should be done differently next time?
So the next time you are in a similar situation, you will do better. For example, if someone causes your frustration many times, you will learn to reduce the time you spend with that person, avoid them, and distance yourself from people who reduce your abilities and make you feel negative feelings. Surround yourself with positive people who propel you forward and make you feel positive.
Don't overstate things
Your interpretation of what is happening to you is more important than what is actually happening to you. Put things in perspective and think in a positive constructive way and do not focus on the negatives. Sit with yourself and think is it worth all these negative feelings? Does feeling frustrated and hopeless benefit me in my life?
I feel grateful
Did you know that feeling grateful strengthens your immune system and makes you happier and optimistic, and gratitude is that you appreciate what you already have and feel happy because you have it and thank God for the blessings in your life, you may be sad because you lost your money and forget that you have what is more precious than money, which is health, and even If you - God forbid - you are plagued with health, there are many blessings that God has blessed you with, and the blessings of God are countless, and if you want to live happy and overcome feelings of despair and frustration, focus on gratitude and do not focus on complaining.
Make gratitude a daily habit. Each day, write down ten great things that happened or are grateful for you. Keep your focus on the positive and you will feel the difference.
Find sources of motivation
Talk to your supportive friends and relatives who you trust, and they will make you feel better, encourage you to move forward, and lift your spirits. You can also read inspirational books and check out biographies of people who have braved odds, frustration and despair. Watch videos on YouTube or read articles on how to cope with negative emotions
Look for potential opportunities, not missed opportunities
The moment of frustration provides an ideal and unique opportunity to expand your horizons and discover new horizons, when one door closes another door opens, but if you only stare at the closed door you will not see the open door, future opportunities may be much better than the missed opportunity that you feel frustrated because of its loss.
Sometimes open doors are out of sight but all you have to do is look for signs of an opportunity. Know where the breeze is coming from. This will help you adjust your path going forward.
As long as you stay positive, you will eventually find a way out of any disappointing and frustrating situation. Sow seeds of hope, optimism, patience, gratitude and perseverance in your life and you will reap the rewards of happiness.
