How to thrive when fed up. Ever have those moments ? When stuff doesn't work, or we just feel fed up with things that are totally beyond our control.

Thrive when you’re fed up…

How to thrive when fed up
Ever have those moments? When your laptop won’t work, or the car won’t start, or the childminder is sick, or we just feel fed up with things that are totally beyond our control. Here’s some ideas to thrive when fed up. 
 
Something happens, and it triggers us to be overwhelmed and frustrated and want to throw your laptop or your handbag out the window (okay, maybe not your prized Mulberry, but you’ve come close). 

 

HOW CAN YOU MAKE THIS BETTER?

Now ask yourself what 3 actions can you take to find a way out of this situation? Who can you call or email to help you? What can you do to put it right? 

Taking action makes you feel better, and you might even solve the issue pretty quickly now that you’re calm and in control. 

If it’s still not working, think about what you can do instead…. Even if that means listening to an audio book while you wait for someone to fix your broken down car, or journaling. That way, if you stay calm, you can come away from the experience having learned something and having gained something – rather than just moaning about it on Facebook and to your colleagues.

  • When the dust has settled, ask yourself what could you have done differently?
  • What steps can you take now to ensure it doesn’t happen again? 
  • You may not be able to control the situation, but you can control your response to the situation… how could you handle you response better and more effectively in the future?
  • What can you say NO TO?
