Handling Frustration

I've had one of those days where it seems like I've been running all day and got nowhere!

A couple of computers that should have been ready to sell turned out to need tinkering with... the worst things are modems because if they aren't the "standard" modems (and they rarely are) then you have to go hunting on the intenet for drivers, which can be frustrating in itself. Then you have to install the driver and make sure the modem actually works.

Anyway I eventually got both the computers working but just really felt stressed. It seems like those computers in some way have defined my whole day for me.

Here's how I cope with this kind of frustration-induced stress.

  • Do something that involves physical exercise... I always feel better after a long walk
  • Talk to God about it
  • Get some perspective... I probably won't be tortured for my beliefs this week, so I'm already ahead of many christians in the world, nobody will die if I can't get the right driver for this modem
  • Praise God for his many blessings


Blessings
