    I look at a photo of Sai Baba.  It calms me down.   He is beyond powerful in my life.

    It's nice you got a photo that can help you such ways.

    Hmm. I see. I prefer not to use alcohol or drugs to get over my frustrations. Btw, I don't drink Scotch and I don't smoke weed (or anything else).

    How do I distract my thoughts when frustrated?
    Often, not very well it seems.
    :)


    Maybe playing piano, listening to music, reading, extreme exercising, masturbation, cooking a favorite food, ordering a pizza, Serenity Prayer --
    God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    courage to change the thins I can
    and the wisdom to know the difference.
    I also often just say "Stop it" and try to mentally just throw away the frustration, rather than fall in to the "analysis/paralysis" mode that can just keep me frustrated.

    Sometimes, like "feelings are just being feelings" -  they come and go - -, thoughts are just thoughts --just let them come and go

    Right. And all good ways to try get over your frustrations. God won't help me personalply though as I don't believe in any God(s).

    I appreciate it.

    Oomph. I hope if not some of my other posts, then those of others here can be helpful to distract your thoughts. It's one of my ways to get over my frustrations. Distractions are at times the best solution for myself. :-)
