It is difficult as a human being to realize that in any given day, in any given moment many things are unpredictable and beyond our control. In modern society, we may have all the conveniences that technology offers, but in some ways, we are helpless, and this feeling causes stress: the weather can disrupt our plans, a cold can appear from nowhere, a pandemic can change our everyday life. Here are four of the most typical issues that might be causing headaches and are probably best dealt with in another way: The Weather The first of these is the weather which is always considered an uncontrollable environmental factor. Suppose you have planned the most beautiful of events to be held perhaps in the outside environment and then the rains come. The disappointment and frustration can be felt. Though we are able to verify such forecast and possibly prepare for it, the weather is a natural faculty we cannot command. This may not always be a successful endeavor but having this fact accepted and having a backup plan lessens frustration. Health Issues Health is also one of the domains where we tend to perceive ourselves as victims. Unfortunately, even when one tries their best to ensure their body is in good health, at time one may fall ill or get involved in an accident. It becomes quite annoying and irritating when it hinders our normal day to day activities or even a long term forecast. The changes outside of our control can also be difficult in some ways for patients and their caregivers: the best approach here is medical adherence and positive thinking at least. Global Events We can meet the global events like economic crisis, viruses spreading, and shifts in power overnight. It is usually out of our control and may result into what is referred to in psychological terms as Helpless and anxious ness. Remaining knowledgeable and discovering how we can successfully square ourselves into new situations allows us to regain feelings of control. Traffic and Delays The regular traffic congestion and travelling schedule become very much inconvenienced due to traffic jams, flights delays etc. They can at times be rather irritating, mainly when they lead to one being late for an event as this is socially unacceptable. Of course, such delays are rather frustrating, but listening to the audiobooks or podcasts, for instance, can help to pass the time with benefit. Coping Strategies 

The life is full of unpredictable events that are beyond our control, but what we can control is our attitude to these events. Here are some strategies to help manage frustration:

Acceptance: Admit that there are things that you cannot change and do not waste time and energy on such things.

Mindfulness: Develop effective strategies by focusing on the present moment to effectively overlook the future due to pressures associated with time.

Flexibility: Be flexible and be ready to alter the arrangement if need be.

Positive Thinking: It is important to work on and with the positive aspects where possible or turn a negative situation into a positive one.

Support Network: Discuss matters with friends and family and get another opinion on the matter so as to get a better perspective.

These frustrations are avoidable and with coping mechanisms and positive attitude, the stresses can be handled well to enable us to lead a peaceful life amidst chaos.
