"Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself." —Saint Francis De Sales
Every day there are plenty of good reasons to be frustrated. Another long line. Telemarketers. A goal isn't materializing "fast enough." People don't do what they're supposed to. Rejection. Disappointment. How to deal with it all? You can drive yourself crazy, behave irritably, feel victimized, or try to force an outcome—all self-defeating reactions that alienate others and bring out the worst in them. Or, you can learn to transform frustration with patience.
As a psychiatrist, I help others see that patience doesn't mean passivity or resignation, but power. It's an emotionally freeing practice of waiting, watching, and knowing when to act. To many people, when you say, "Have patience," it feels unreasonable and inhibiting, an unfair stalling of goals. In contrast, I'm presenting patience as a form of compassion, a way to regain your center in a world filled with frustration.
In my new book on achieving emotional freedom, I discuss how to transform frustration with patience. To tame frustration, begin by evaluating its present role in your life, how much it limits your capacity to be happy. The following quiz will let you know where you are now so you can grow freer by developing patience.
Frustration Quiz: How Frustrated Am I?
To determine your success at coping with this emotion, ask yourself:
Am I often frustrated and irritable?
Do I typically respond to frustration by snapping at or blaming others?
Do I self-medicate letdowns with junk food, drugs or alcohol?
Do my reactions hurt other people's feelings?
When the frustration has passed, do I usually feel misunderstood?
During a hard day at work, do I tend to lose my cool?
When I'm disappointed, do I often feel unworthy or like giving up?
Answering "yes" to 5-7 questions indicates an extremely high level of frustration. 3-5 "yeses" indicates a high level. 2 "yeses" indicates a moderate level. 1 "yes" indicates a low level. Zero "yeses" suggests you're dealing successfully with this emotion.
Even if your frustrations are off the charts, patience is the cure. You'll have plenty of opportunities to cultivate this invaluable skill. Life teaches patience if you let it.
4 Tips for Dealing With Frustrating People (from "Emotional Freedom")
When someone frustrates you, always take a breath first before you react. Decide if you want to talk now or wait to calm down. If you're highly reactive and upset, have the discussion later when you're calmer. Then you'll be more persuasive and less threatening. At that time use this approach:
Tip #1. Focus on a specific issue—don't escalate or mount a personal attack.
For instance, "I feel frustrated when you promise to do something but there is no follow-through." No resorting to threats or insults. In an even, non-blaming tone, lead with how the behavior makes you feel rather than how you think the other person is wrong.
