What is frustration?
Frustration! It is a word which is commonly associated with helplessness coupled with rage. The usual notion attached to this word is out rightly negative and nobody would like to undergo this phenomenon.

What does it do?

Frustration quite a common sentiment. The plight of a person going through the agony of frustration is wretched. Most of the suicidal cases are eventual consequence of this noxious emotion.

What does it do? But during the past few years researchers have observed that this sentiment finds place in our lives quite often than not. In urban lifestyle it is a regular feature and people have learned to live with this feeling. And yes, the consequences of frustration have been extremely detrimental.

So... is there a way out?


Yes, a big YES.

But how?
Any human emotion generates a certain amount of energy. For instance, if we feel happy we are naturally energized. During this feeling we can carry out all those things which we dont even like doing, but if we are happy, petty things dont matter. We will do it by the virtue of happiness. But mind you, these trivial and petty things dont remain petty, if we are not in a good state of mood.

If we feel gloomy, we are sapped and energy level goes down. If we are angry, we can smack a mightier person than us, because of this phenomenon- energy.

So energy is the key which drives us to do something or not do it. And the most fortunate thing about frustration is that it generates enormous amount of energy.

Frustration=Tremendous energy
The sheer feeling of helplessness coupled with a great degree of frenzy is the source of that energy. This energy, if properly channelised into deeds, can achieve you those results which you can only think of.

So you must be thinking that one should use that energy while being frustrated and streamline ones effort. But pragmatically speaking is it really possible? If yes then...How? A million dollar questionundeniably.

Lets try to answer this question! To find a solution to this we need to proceed stepwise.

Step-I
Acknowledge! (A) The first and foremost thing is to accept the fact there is a concern. You cant do much about it. And the issue is taking a heavy toll on your life. Even then you are not able to do much about it.

But it seems unreal! You have a problem which is affecting your life and you can not do much about it. There comes the next step.

Step-II
Evaluate! (E) There are few thing in our life for which we cant hold anybody else responsible other than us. It is only me who can change some things. Some people realise this while some dont. At the same time there are many things which are beyond our control. I mean there are many unruly issues in life which you have to take in your stride.

We got to prudently assess that what is that share of issues which are under our control and which are not. A word of caution here! If we falter at this stage it will mean that we have let things go from our hands.

Step-III
Ignore! (I) If you have meticulously decided that there are few things you cannot be in charge of, there is no meaning on mulling over them to take a charge of those issues. So forget it!

Step IV
Go for it! (G) Since you have already chalked out that many things are in your control, go for it now. Complete the tasks and employ all your pent up emotions in accomplishing those issues!

AEIG rule
This was the AEIG rule which comes very handy in our day to day functioning. After putting in your best shot, more often than not you will see that you are out of the frustration zone. So now you see how frustration can be milked? So whenever you are frustrated next time, dont be distressed. You never know.it might help you!

Go Milk It!
