What triggers your frustration? Something that sets you off and causes a reaction in you.

What is it for you, waiting in long lineups, traffic jams, people not meeting your expectations, dealing with difficult people, phone ringing when you are trying to get things done, not making your goal or not getting considered for a job. We've all felt frustration over something.

Its about choosing to look at events as setbacks instead of something that will affect you permanently.

Avoid the triggers if you can and if you cannot at least know what the triggers are so you are able to see the signs and prepare.

Perhaps turning your phone off if you need to get work done or take a break or walk away from something difficult if you can feel yourself getting frustrated.

You cannot always make things turn out the way you would like, so avoid putting people in a position where they are likely to frustrate you. If you know that your trigger will likely come up.

“To conquer frustration, one must remain intensely focused on the outcome, not the obstacles.”
T.F. Hodge

“It’s a lack of clarity that creates chaos and frustration. Those emotions are poison to any living goal.”
Steve Maraboli
