Handling Deep Frustration
Understanding What It Is You Really Need In The Heat Of The Moment
Have you ever had a situation where you just Wished that someone would Listen to You?
Where you Knew what they Needed?
Knew and Understood the Challenges they Saw?
Had Solutions?
Could tell them What they Were Missing?
Then Explain how they were Being Manipulated and/or Misled?
But for them to even give You Ten Measly Seconds...
Was Worse than having Your Teeth Pulled Out?
If you're Human the Answer is Yes.
You have had a Situation like this.
Likely "Many" Situations that played out Very Similarly to this.
I just had one myself.
I tend to be a Very Relaxed Individual.
Few things Truly Rattle Me to the Core.
I have tested in the Top 1% of EQ, meaning I tend to Understand and Handle both My Emotions and the Emotions of others Incredibly Well.
But I'm not Perfect.
If You Know the Right Buttons, and Hit Them Repeatedly, I can become Tight Jawed and Red in the Face.
It can Feel like Witchcraft Sometimes.
Some people are like Warlocks who know the Dark Incantations that will Release the Emotions from You.
Then the Frustration Sets In.
Which can be a Gigantic Problem for Us as Humans.
Frustration is an Emotion that comes with a few Side-Effect.
Increased Heart Rate.
Decreased HRV.
Higher Blood Pressure.
Shutting Down of Certain Parts of the Brain...
The Parts that have the Highest Capacity for Problem-Solving...
The Parts We Need Usually to Overcome whatever is Causing the Frustration.
Learning and Memory are Negatively Impacted.
Increased Stressors...
Which for most people means Worse Dis-Stress.
This also means Increased Oxidation, which produces Higher Oxidative Stress.
Oxidative Stress Accumulation is Considered one of the Major Signs of Aging, and if Left Unchecked can Age Your Faster than Your Time on Earth would Suggest.
Doctors Today will sometimes call this Your "True Age" which you Ideally want to be Less than How Long You've Been Alive (But is Probably Higher if you are Frequently Frustrated).
All of these Problems Caused by Deep Frustration.
Now, None of Us, Myself Included, can ever Expect to be "Beyond" Frustration.
We will Never Reach a Point where Frustration "Never" Occurs.
Not even the Best Buddhist Monks that Hum Hymns in High Mountain Dwellings are Ever Truly Free from Frustration.
To Feel and Experience Emotions is Human.
To Deny this is Folly, Hubris, or Both.
But What We "Can" Change is How We "Respond" to Frustration, and How Quickly We can "Move On" from the Frustration.
This is what We must Learn to Accomplish.
Instead of Acting Immediately as we Experience the Frustration...
We Must Learn to Accept the Frustration for what it is...
An Emotion.
A Signal from our Bodies.
One which we can Choose To, or Choose Not To Act On.
Emotions are Not Commands.
They are a Communication that is Meant to be Understood.
When it Comes to All Emotions...
Once You Understand What It Is Communicating...
The Emotions Move On.
But if we Fail to Understand their Message?
They Remain...
Sometimes they get Louder...
Until they are Finally Understood.
One thing that can also Help is Knowing the Signs of When You are Frustrated.
For Me, I know that My Jaw Locks Up Some.
I can Feel the Blood Flow to My Face, and the Heat that Comes with It.
My Breath becomes More Shallow and Quickens.
Sometimes the Muscles in my Hands and Arms will also Tighten.
Here is what is Important about Understanding the Signs...
If you Know the Signs...
You can Learn to Focus on the Communication.
When you Feel Your Signs...
You "Know" that You're Frustrated.
That allows You to Focus on Understanding "Why" You're Frustrated.
When You Know Why, then the Communication has been Understood.
You can then Move On.
Now, without the Emotion of Frustration, you can Gain Back Access to the Parts of Your Brain which can Help You Overcome the "Cause" of the Frustration.
Which is what You Truly Needed.

Psychophysiological Mastery
For Paid Subscribers
I can hear a few of you say…
Yes, this sounds easy, but it is still Hard!
You might be Right.
Writing about Emotions is often Much Easier than Handling Emotions.
But perhaps the Important Question is…
Why?
Why can it be so Difficult to “Understand” the Emotions?
That is what we will Discuss Today.
By Remedying These Challenges, You might be able to Handle the Emotions as Easily as you Read about Handling Them.
