I’m Just Going To Leave This Right Here: The Frustrated Edition

Had a long day? We all do at some point. We all have those moments of frustration. Maybe it’s work-related or something at school. It could be something of a personal nature. It could be that someone did something not-so-smart in traffic today that just set you off. Maybe it’s just a small drip of lots of things that build up until you feel you need some sort of release.

I have been there. I have been aggravated when I explain something to someone then they return and I have to explain the same thing to them again. I have been bothered when some one chose to shut me up and not even listen to my reasoning or explanations. I feel overwhelmed when I work hard only to then look up to see I have rarely made a dent in what I have to complete. I get it.

I can tell you when I reach this point I try things to try to get past the level of frustration I feel. I mean if I really let frustration hit it’s peak I might lash out in some way that I might regret later. So, for me, maybe a short break and walk outside will help. Maybe cranking up a favorite song will smooth things out. Comfort food is fattening, and not so great in some ways, but, oh so helpful in other ways.

I know though that what works for me may not work for you. Still, I want to help. I want to be able to be someone you know who can help you get past frustration. Now, I suppose I could lend an ear to you and let you vent, but as the kids say today, “ain’t nobody got time for that”. I mean you need immediate help, and besides, if I have to sit through one more person complaining about whatever, I may just break down in tears. You don’t need that, you need something that will help you get on with things.

This is why I have loaded the picture below for you. It sits on my office door, magnetized to the metal door frame. I place it level to my neck. It sits there ready and waiting if it is ever needed. You have it now. Feel free to capture in a screen shot or download it. Tape it to some hard surface and save it for one of those days when your frustration level seems like it won’t top off.

I’ll just leave this here in case you need it. Mind you I have never really used this as described. The thought of bashing my head against a metal door frame usually makes me realize my frustration level is not worth a headache. You can use it however you wish though. You will have to provide your own Tylenol.
