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.
