Break the Cycle

Trigger: Frustration

For some reason, I've been an extreme procrastinator when it comes to discussing this trigger. I suppose there's lots of reasons for my slacking. It's my most frequent trigger; nearly anything can set if off; and since frustration is a trigger with such outspread factors, it can't truly be corrected as a trigger. Instead, I have to break it down by factor and tackle the factors one by one. There's no other way I can do it.

So...why do I list frustration as a trigger? Well, when I'm frustrated, my stress levels soar to unfathomable levels. With frustration, my psychosomatic reactions tend to very the most. On some days, I'm able to push my frustration aside and carry on with my daily life without interruption. Other times, I have headaches and a sour stomach. Many events play into how I handle frustration, but it really tends to vary on the factor more than everything. I've become slightly more adept at blocking out some very minor frustrations (like people cutting in front of me at line or incompetent grocery store employees; one time I was so frustrated that our sushi order took so long I asked one of the employees who cock we had to suck to get our order done that day.). However, my frustaciones grandiosas (for example chronic bitching about a particular topic and watching people blatently talk out both sides of their mouths) have yet to be conquered. In a lot of cases, though, the most frustrating situations are out of my control, and those tend to give me the most problems. So the $64 million question of the day is how am I going to handle the greatest of my frustrations. I know I can tackle some of them, but others could prove to be damn near impossible.
