When things are not working

I still feel very irritated when things are not working. For example, this morning I finally try to connect the bluetooth headphones. After some nervousness, I managed to connect it. But then the sounds is too low. After some time, I could find that there is button in the headphone itself to increase the volume.

Afterwards, I felt it was not enough. I wanted to test on my phone, not just my laptop. After several trials, it could not connect to the iphone. I felt irritated. Then I gave up. After that, I wanted to try whether the connection to the laptop is still fine. To my horror, it really did not work. I do not know what happened but it no longer worked although it initially did. I tried to restart the computer, on and off the headphone, re-add the device, but it still does not work.

When these things happen, my response is first regret. I regretted why I tried to connect with my phone when it was well connected to the laptop. Second, I am angry to myself of how come I could not resolve this. I then base on my worth on my performance including the way I handle unexpected things. Third, it is very difficult for me to move on to other task. It is like I could not accept that I could not solve that issue immediately or fast enough. Fourth, the time is clicking. I am angry that I took more time than expected and so more works are piling up.

How do I handle these situations better? I do not know. But we can think. Remeber that there is a good chance that I have learned before. It is just I am easily too frustrated. Remember that it is not helpful to be frustrated on the current condition. Learn to embrace my limitation, face it. We can stop or seek help. And I can get up again. Remember that this feeling is not permanent. And the issue can somehow be fixed although I cannot see the direction now.
