Frustration is progress
Without frustration, there can’t be change.
Without a purpose and a deep desire to achieve that purpose, you won’t become frustrated when you go down the wrong path.
I’m at the point where I’m continually frustrated by sugar. I never feel great when I eat it, but always do because it’s my way of relaxing. Similar to what alcohol was for a long time. Sugar is getting in my way of a healthy life and healthy mind and it’s frustrating. I have faced the real truth that sugar is killing me every time I eat it (deep but true). The frustration of indulging constantly has built up so much I’m to the point where the desire to eat sugar is outweighed by the feeling of regret I know I’ll have. I’m tired of being a slave to sugar like I was with alcohol.
What I’m realizing is that without frustration, there is no (long term) change. So when I become frustrated by things, I pause, and appreciate the frustration rather than become filled with anger.
