Hello everyone, 

in this edition of "Emotional Monday" we will explore different strategies to better deal with the feeling of frustration. 

In the first part we will explore the root causes and the triggers for frustration and afterwards we will pass to the solutions part. 

Especially in these times of world wide restrictions, how often are you experiencing this feeling and how well can you deal with it? Listen to this episode, to get a few extra hints that you can immediately apply. 

Here are a set of questions you can use, to help you re-asses the way in which you perceive a situation to be frustrating: 

• Are things really as I perceive them? Is there anything that I might be missing here?

•How does what happened today matter short and long term? Will it still matter in a day, a week, a year?

•Is there any way that I can express my concerns without hostility?

•Am I as interested in seeing the situation clearly or am I rather interested in being “right”?

•Am I at all interested in the other person's needs or expectations? Is there a chance that we could cooperate?

Listen to the episode to find out about more ways to deal with frustration!

Or is there a frustrating situation in which you find yourself now and do not seem to be able to perceive it in a different way or you cannot think of any possible solutions? Describe this shortly in an email and we could pick it for our next “Your Coaching Monday” episode, where we are solely discussing about your concrete challenges and how to overcome these.
