In this week’s episode, I shared how I have mentored people to better handle frustration. Most people are in one of two camps – either they show frustration or they swallow frustration. I teach a strategy for feeling frustration in a healthier way, sharing it in a way that heals you and helps others, and finds resolve. I shared my own tendency to show frustration quickly, and how I have navigated that path to temper that reaction and be more responsible with my reaction. So much of life is how we communicate. So whether you’re frustrated with an in-law, coworker, spouse or friend, here are some better ways to handle it. 

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• People usually handle frustration by either showing it or swallowing it.
• Common triggers: dishonesty, lateness, gossip, and mess/disorganization.
• Exploding hurts relationships; bottling it up creates hidden resentment.
• Use the phrase: “I feel frustrated when…” + situation + “Does that make sense?”
• Calm, clear communication helps you be heard, heal, and resolve issues.

“You’re allowed to speak up, and you’ll be more heard, and you will feel more healed if you’re able to share your frustration… how can you share frustration in a way to heal You, to help the situation and to move forward.”
