FRUSTRATION, ANXIETY AND COPYING BEHAVIOUR

FRUSTRATION

Life is full of frustrations, from the minor irritations of losing one’s car keys to the major anxieties of continued failure towards a goal.

If you wish to be a leader, you will be frustrated, for very few people wish to be led. If you aim to be a servant you will never be frustrated. (Frank Warren).

Everything is a gift of the Universe. Even joy, anger, jealousy, frustration or separateness. Every thing is perfect either for our growth or our enjoyment (Ken Keyes Jr.).

DEFINITION

FRUSTRATION

Frustration is a normal and valid emotional response to many of the difficulties of being a care given.

WHAT IS FRUSTRATION?      

According to Oxford Dictionary frustration is an emotion that occurs in the situations where one is blocked from reaching a personal goal. So, when progress toward underlying tension unresolved, we speak of frustration.

The more important is the goal, the greater the frustration. It is comparable to Anger.

New ways of satisfying the needs occur primarily as a consequence of frustration.

The structure of the individual’s personality may be influenced by frustration and by his mode of adaptation to successive frustrations. Racial prejudice, gang fight, and wars, religious behaviour and other important social phenomena can frequently be understood in terms of the consequences of frustration.

Life is not an easy matter and you cannot live through it without falling into frustration.  But there are some ways to live with confidence and these known as copying behaviour or remedial measures.

Eight ways to deal with frustration.

Copying Behaviour

·         A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity whereas an optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty (Churchill).

·         As the emotion, someone is feeling frustration.

·         This is the point where someone will just say “I quit”.

But to avoid the situation, here are 8 ways that one can blast through any frustration.

ASK YOURSELF

·         What is working in this situation?

KEEP AN ACCOMPLISHMENT LOG

·         Keep a record of everything that is done by you in a log.

FOCUS ON WHAT YOU WANT TO HAPPEN

·         The important knows the answer to following two questions.

·         What do you want to happen differently this time?

·         What do you need to do in order to get there?

REMOVE NOISE AND SIMPLIFY

·         Determine what is really necessary and remove everything else 

MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS

·         You always have options you just need to brainstorm and figure them out.

TAKE ACTION

·         As Thomas Edisons said “Many of life failure of people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up and surprises and reverses serve as an incentive for great accomplishment.

VISUALIZED A POSITIVE OUTCOME TO THE SOLUTION

·         One should take the time to visualize his desire outcomes and really feeling. It will inspire him to keep moving forward.

STAY POSITIVE

·         A positive mind is far more open to solution and answers than a negative one that thinks it’s just “hopeless” and thinks “what’s the use”?

·         A closed mind will not be able to see possible solutions when they do come along.

STAY POSITIVE

By using these steps you may find that you are running in opportunity and you know exactly how to take advantage of them.

CONCLUSION

From the above written data, it has been concluded that frustration and anxiety always results in negative ways. So, to overcome this negative situation positive ways should always be offered to a frustrated person and luckily we have psychology as a subject which teaches us how to handle a frustrated socially and emotionally disturb individuals in an organization in a positive way. Because there is a famous saying “it is easy to withdraw but it is difficult to fight”.

So being a teacher / elder we should avoid the former situation and create every possibility to win up the later situation.
