When I feel frustrated, I keep close in mind that emotions are bullshit.
"Oh I'm so angry!!" blah blah. Don't be a pussy.
I'm a little bitchIn my head there is always a little voice right now, saying: "Do you really want to feel like this right now?"
SOMETIMES, it's time to be angry. Sometimes the emotion is useful. Sometimes, it's good to be frustrated. I feel frustrated right now. I've just taken my day off partying.
I have this nagging, almost choking sensation in my body that
there is something I should do, that I'm NOT doing. I do this intentionally, that feeling of suck, will fuel the rest of my week.
And all the gay activities I spend my time on today, will be covered in distaste, and slowly, I will regard them so distasteful that I can never do them again.
That is useful frustration. Frustration, working to change my life into the better.
Objects in motion tend to stay in motionWhat I mean, is that if you FEEL frustrated, you often want to feel even MOOORE frustrated. Maby you can vent your frustration at a friend, and bring him into it as well, and you got double frustration (often a women way).
You might feel sad, and you listen to a sad song and you feel even more sad.
In short, if you're in a hole, you tend to wanna dig it deeper, on your own.
Hey dude, there's a ladder right here!
fuck off! Can't you see I'm digging?And when you're happy, you keep doing things that make you even more happy.
"Yay, I feel in mood for doing this awesome thing! Let's go on an adventure!"
But you can always step out of that hell-hole, by
doing the right thing.
So if you don't wanna do the dishes, if you go up and do the dishes anyway, you realize quickly that it's pretty OK doing the dishes actually.
WILLPOWERChange the body, and your state will follow. It works in both ways. Change your state, and your body will follow too. You can change either, which ever is easiest.
