We often see frustration and anger as negative things, but Dr. Norton and Bruce discusses why they don’t always have to be. We often seek comfort over action, but this can lead to inaction, which can then lead to regret. If anything, you should be more afraid of inaction than taking the action itself. On this episode, you’ll find out how you can use your frustration to create momentum, growth, and change.
Key Takeaways:
[2:00] Is your status quo just okay?
[3:30] You can’t always be happy, right?
[5:45] You can really learn a lot from your frustrations. They can be the trigger you need to take action.
[7:25] Without consistent change, you can’t optimally grow.
[9:40] When thinking of making a change, fear is the most common emotion that arises.
[10:55] We’ve all heard of having a fight-or-flight response, but there’s a third one to consider, you freeze.
[11:35] When you’ve stayed frozen too long, it does lead to regret.
[14:35] You should be more afraid of inaction than the action itself.
[17:55] You will run into frustrating opposition with people and circumstances.
[22:50] When it comes to your team, it may be beneficial to get angry with them (occasionally). Bruce explains further.
[28:00] Anger and frustration are not bad, it just depends on how you use them. They can be great tools for learning and growing.
[32:05] When you’re feeling frustrated, look at the positive values from being in that state.
[34:15] As we seek short-term comfort, it can end up disabling us towards positive growth.
[35:25] You can use your discomfort to go insane, or you can use it to create positive momentum.
[37:15] You have the ability to overcome these challenges!!
