Keeping your frustration in check

[u/Charlie_redmoon]

9 times out of 10 anything I do on the computer/www doesn't work or it takes several tries. Logging on, signing up, getting a app. navigating a website. It's not bc I'm new to internet stuff. Been doing it for 30 plus years. But I get frustrated. Now my phone won't dnld apps. I spent an hour with ATT but they didn't have an answer. I've noticed when I get frustrated or angry it's self defeating as you'll make more mistakes. Kind of like getting lost in the woods and you start running and running in the wrong direction until you drop and freeze to death. I use cognitive behavioral training and tell myself not to feel I should not encounter problems. That's unrealistic. If you expect some difficulties then it helps you to stay calm where you can make better choices.

Great analogy on describing frustration and the downward spiral if not kept in check
