I Get Frustrated Easily

Why do I get frustrated and give up so easily?

Your question is your answer. You are performing a task. You have seen others perform it in certain time to a certain level of efficiency. Your expectation from self- piece of cake. Attempt one - a bit of overconfidence- effort 100%-less than desired result.Attempt two - overconfidence still intact- effort 99%- doubt 1%- less than desired resultsAttempt three- overconfidence- effort 97%- doubt 3%- less than desired resultsattempt four— overconfidence shaking- effort 95% - doubt 4%- anger 1% - desired result comes further downAttempt 7- low confidence- effort 75% - doubt 12.5%- doubt 12.5%- bad performanceand so on and so forthAs our trials increase we are unable to keep a track of the positives we achieve in this exercise. We only see what we don’t have as final outcome. Our confidence goes from over to under. The process of learning through the process is disregarded. And how I know it is because if one were to take the process of learning into account then they would realise the number of milestones they have achieved. Frustration is nothing but a mix of doubt and anger which eats on your effort.So ask yourselfwhy do you feel angry and doubtful when you are unable to achieve the desired result?

How can I stop getting easily frustrated?

To have a different reaction to the same situation means fundamentally seeing the situation in a different way. Meditation is one of the ways you can help train your mind to view things differently.With respect to frustration at things not going right, the first step is to ask yourself what kind of thoughts preceded it. Are you perhaps a very driven person and tend to form internal ideas about how things ought to progress? Having a plan or vision about how things will go is good, but being too attached to that plan is a recipe for frustration. We can’t control everything — and importantly, not every deviation from the plan means something is going to be a disaster.Frustration at things not going right comes from fear of what will happen because of a deviation from how you thought things would go. But really, usually things won’t be disasters. It can be helpful to “pre-think” through a few alternate scenarios so that your mind doesn’t freak out if they do occur.

Why do I easily get frustrated and lose hope?

You easily get frustrated and lose hope because quitting is easier than pushing through with hard work.  I see my kids doing their homework, especially math.  They sit there for hours staring through a problem.  They have convinced themselves that they don't know and can't learn the answer.  You try to help them, they put in zero effort except heavy huffing, breaking their pencil lead and hitting the table in frustration.  Giving up is not an option because I will be there all night with them and I'm happy to get a tutor if they need one.  After about another hour of griping, they realize that I'm not going away and that if they want to play x-box with their friends tonight, they better get their ass and mind in gear.  Once this level is achieved, they finally start to listen, or concentrate on the question and revisit the examples.  It's typically within minutes that you see the light bulb go on and then things get way easier, way fast.  X-Box (their waiting friends) was their motivation that drove them through the obstacle and allowed them to execute.Next time you find yourself giving up, kick yourself in the ass and keep pushing forward.  I had a tree fall down in my yard a few weeks back.  Man, did I want to quit as it was a huge tree an overwhelming.  One branch at a time and after several days, it's done and it's behind me.  I also have firewood and the satisfaction that I completed something.Now if you're in law school or something...it may be just beyond what you're capable of learning.  If that's the case, take on things that are more at your level and within your boundaries.  Learn to complete them first - frustration is still aloud (nothing feels better than tossing a tool across the room every once in a while) and then when you start gaining hope again, push to the next level, working your way up to the next miracle.
