Mal On BBC - Managing Frustration VID
21 June 2009
Holidays in the rain, cars that won't start and PCs that constantly crash - according to a new study, these are just a few of the things that frustrate people most in the modern world.
Frustration may be a fact of life, but how can we manage it better?
That was the subject of a discussion on the popular BBC Breakfast TV programme recently, featuring Mal Fletcher and author Kathy Lette (watch below).
"Many of our frustrations are the result of unrealistic expectations," said Mal.
"If you spend all year dreaming of an annual holiday where the sun always shines, the kids never fight and everything is bliss, you will be inevitably disappointed. It's an unrealistic expectation."
"Sometimes, we forget that wherever we go we take ourselves with us. It's not necessarily the weather that needs to change, as much as our attitude. We need what my parents called and 'attitude of gratitude'."
