How do we “unfrustrate” ourselves?

-

I brought the car to a service today and was promised to wait for 3 – 4 hours only. It ended up taking 9+ hours to complete. My day was totally impacted – I had to move some meetings and work. It was frustrating, and I was growing impatient as the hours went by.

Then I realized that getting upset and angry would not change the situation or make things go any faster. So, I told myself to stay calm and patient.

Well, sometimes things don’t go as planned, and delays and unexpected hiccups happen. While it’s natural to feel frustrated or disappointed, it’s important to stay peaceful in these situations.

If you face something similar, just take a deep breath and remember THINGS WILL EVENTUALLY WORK OUT.

Thank God I just read a related reminder that “it is wise to stay calm.”
