When frustrated, plan your next move. If nothing is going on except your frustration, plan how you will get busy (Get active). If too much is going on, plan how you will change your mindset with something relaxing that might take your mind off of _______.
Second, call someone. They can probably take your mind in a new direction.
Third, get busy with a hobby, sport, or musical instrument.
Fourth, never let tomorrow’s potential problems, or yesterday’s problem ruin “Right now.” Currently, I am in a tough situation if tomorrow does not go well, so I “should” focus on making today a good day, and if tomorrow stinks, handle that when the potential problem is a “Today problem.”
Fifth, ask yourself, “How important is this thing that is frustrating me.” Then think about 2 other things that are “Really important.” Then think some more about the really important things.
Finally, think about something new that is vitally important. Pick a habit from an old article that you want to work on today, and this week. Your new habit just might help make your life better for a long time, and it might help you deal with temptation better as well.
