Milking Frustration


2/14

Frustration! It is a word which is commonly

associated with helplessness coupled with

rage. The usual notion attached to thisword is out rightly negative and nobody

would like to undergo this phenomenon.

How can one milk frustration?


3/14

This is quite a common sentiment. The

plight of a person going through the agony

of frustration is wretched. Most of thesuicidal cases are eventual consequence of

this noxious emotion.


4/14

But during the past few years researchers

have observed that this sentiment finds

place in our lives quite often than not. Inurban lifestyle it is a regular feature and

people have learned to live with this

feeling. And yes, the consequences of

frustration have been extremely

detrimental.


5/14

So... is there a way out?

Yes, a big YES.

Any human emotion generates a certain amountof energy. For instance, if we feel happy we arenaturally energized. During this feeling we cancarry out all those things which we dont even likedoing, but if we are happy, petty things dontmatter. We will do it by the virtue of happiness. But

mind you, these trivial and petty things dont remainpetty, if we are not in a good state of mood.


6/14

If we feel gloomy, we are sapped andenergy level goes down. If we are

angry, we can smack a mightier personthan us, because of this phenomenon-energy.


7/14

So energy is the key which drives us to do

something or not do it.

And the most fortunate thing about

frustration is that it generates enormous

amount of energy.


8/14

The sheer feeling of helplessness

coupled with a great degree offrenzy is the source of that energy.

This energy, if properlychannelised into deeds, canachieve you those results which

you can only think of.


9/14

So you must be thinking that one should

use that energy while being frustrated and

streamline ones effort. But pragmatically speaking is it really

possible? If yes then...How? A million

dollar questionundeniably. Lets try to answer this question! To find a

solution to this we need to proceed

stepwise.


10/14

Step-I

Acknowledge! (A)

The first and foremost thing is to accept the fact

there is a concern. You cant do much about it.

And the issue is taking a heavy toll on your life.Even then you are not able to do much about it.

But it seems unreal! You have a problem which

is affecting your life and you can not do much

about it. There comes the next step.


11/14

Step-II

Reassess! (R) There are few thing in our life for which we cant hold

anybody else responsible other than us. It is only mewho can change some things. Some people realise this

while some dont. At the same time there are many things which arebeyond our control. I mean there are many unruly issuesin life which you have to take in your stride.

We got to prudently assess that what is that share of

issues which are under our control and which are not. A word of caution here! If we falter at this stage it willmean that we have let things go from our hands.


12/14

Step-III

Disregard! (D)

If you have meticulously decided that there

are few things you cannot be in charge of,

there is no meaning on mulling over them

to take a charge of those issues. So forget

it!


13/14

Step IV

Finish it! (F)

Since you have already chalked out that

many things are in your control, go for itnow. Complete the tasks and employ all

your pent up emotions in accomplishing

those issues!


14/14
