Frustration is "a deep chronic sense or state of insecurity and dissatisfaction arising from unresolved problems or unfulfilled needs" (Merriam Webster). Yep, that is an accurate assessment of the situation.
I am extremely frustrated...already. Now I have to figure out how to deal with it...in a healthy fashion.
I prefer to just go off on the person causing the frustration but I can't do that. This leads to more unhealthy behavior--emotional eating for one. I can't give in to that impulse; I lost two pounds this week and if I stay on track, I could be at my goal weight by the end of the school year. I can't let this derail me.
I also tend to hold on to the resentment (especially if I can't let the anger out) and I end up in a great deal of pain--my neck, my back, my shoulders...tension and tightness. Headaches tend to follow close behind.
I've taken a walk but I still feel the tension in my body. Hopefully a shower and some meditation will help. If not, this may be a long year.
