Easily frustrated or annoyed? Here's what you can do differently to preserve your well-being.
Calming yourself begins with the awareness that you are indeed frustrated. Once aware, you can take steps to lower your emotional temperature.
Practice checking in with yourself regularly, noticing what is happening inside you with calming techniques at the ready.Frustration and impatience: not mentally railing at the car in front of you at the red light, not needing to knowwhat your partner or boss found out about X, not rushing when making dinner, having lunch with a friend, or eating your own lunch for one. Like a lot of things in our lives, learning to handle frustration and learning to be more patient is about rewiring our brains.
Once aware of what’s going on, you now have a choice, an opportunity to act differently. Ideally, you want to act as quickly as possible to calm your anxious brain before it takes you down that rabbit hole and gets too hard to rein in. This is where the rewiring of your brain starts. Your anxious brain is pushing you to get others or yourself to do something now, but you need to do your own pushing back and get your rational brain back online.
It's time to take some deep breaths. Say to yourself that this is a first-world problem and not the end of the world. Figure out the worst that can happen if you are a few minutes late, unsure of your schedules, or if the dinner isn’t made on time. Come up with a quick plan.You can practice these skills outside of those first-aid situations and, over time, rewire your brain to increase your frustration/impatience tolerance.
