S2E17: Frustrated? Discover What You Need To Learn In Order To Grow

There’s a lot happening in the world right now that could easily cause frustration – whether that’s not being able to do business in the way you’re used to, being cooped up at home, missing your normal routine, etc. That’s just the tip of the iceberg for a lot of people, right? 

Here’s the thing about frustration though – it only exists when you feel like you should be able to control something that you can’t. Frustration comes from feeling like you have a lack of control over external events. The irony is that it actually comes from you not being in control of your own emotions. Something inside of you is not okay, it’s hitting your stuff, and that’s why you’re frustrated. 

So what do you do about it? That’s what we talk about on this week’s episode. I share an example of how I was frustrated with my son recently, Hallie talks about being frustrated with her dog, and we explore how not to get lost in the emotion. Listen, frustration is real. It’s not good, it’s not bad. It just is. Here’s how you learn the lessons you need to in order to grow from it.
