Dealing With Frustration: Yes or No is the solution

2021-07-12

We all hit those moments when things just don’t go to plan — like my computer completely refusing to play the game this week. Frustration can spiral fast into anxiety and overwhelm, leaving you feeling like your thoughts are running the show (and not in a good way). In this episode, I talk about what to do when you’re stuck, frazzled, and nothing’s working. The solution? It starts with one very simple question:Can I do anything about this?Yes or no. If the answer is no, let it go (for now).

We all hit those moments when things just don’t go to plan — like my computer completely refusing to play the game this week. Frustration can spiral fast into anxiety and overwhelm, leaving you feeling like your thoughts are running the show (and not in a good way).

In this episode, I talk about what to do when you’re stuck, frazzled, and nothing’s working. The solution? It starts with one very simple question:
Can I do anything about this?
Yes or no.

If the answer is no, let it go (for now).
If the answer is yes, take one small step toward a solution — or get the help you need. There’s no shame in asking for help, especially when someone else might already have the experience to move things forward more quickly and easily than you can alone.

So if you’re stuck in a funk or fighting with something that’s winding you up, hit play and take a few minutes to reset.
