Introduction
We all experience stress, anxiety, and guilt at some point in our lives. You are your enemy if you cry over spilled-milk and feel frustrated. The main cause of depression is that a person is not ready to let go of things that hurt him. According to Mark Roemer, we should only worry about things that are truly important to us. Given below if a list of things that you should not be frustrated about:
The Things
- Your body – Who doesn’t want a flawless figure like an hourglass? But let’s accept the truth. It’s not so easy to achieve that. You might have a disproportionate body or pimpled-skin or less hair. Fret not! Just be proud of what you are. Do not compare yourself with others and wish for what you don’t have. These flaws in you make you unique. Be confident of what and who you are. Otherwise, you would always be frustrated.
- Unable to return borrowed money – You may have borrowed some money from a friend during a case of emergency or need. You may not have been able to return the money in the stipulated period of time. The relationship between both of you might have turned sour. You might be in constant guilt for this and feel frustrated over it time and again. Don’t stress over it much. Even though a lot of time may have passed, send a gift or a card saying sorry to them explaining your situation and move on.
- Missing that golden opportunity – It is rightly said that the best opportunities knock on our door only a few times in our lives. It is up to you to decide whether you want to open the door at the right time or not. Maybe you missed a golden opportunity in your life which would have completely transformed your life. There is no use in remembering that moment and feeling angry over it or sorry for yourself in the present day. What’s done cannot be undone. Focus on creating more opportunities like that so that you can utilize them to be happy in your life.
- Your extravagant expenditure – In a happy moment, you may have gone on a shopping spree in excitement. Maybe after a month or so, you are regretting your decision. Realizing that you spent your hard-earned money on stuff that wasn’t really necessary may fill you with anger and frustration. Try contacting the store to see if they can exchange those items for you. You may also donate these items to people who really need it. It may give you a sense of peace and fulfillment.
- When you forgot to take a stand for yourself – You may come across such a time when a person tries to humiliate you or be abusive towards you. Even though you dislike it a lot, you were not able to take a stand and confront them in lieu of the relationship you shared. Even though time passes, you can’t let it go and feel frustrated that you did not act wisely. Try to take it as a lesson and remember to act when placed in a similar situation again.
Conclusion
The thing that binds all the above points is forgiveness. Mark Roemer feels that your frustration can be resolved if you develop the ability to forgive others, yourself, and find a way to let go. Once you learn to do that, you will find peace in your heart once again.
