How to Deal with Discouragement and Develop Exceptional People Skills

Ever feel like giving up? Do you ever feel so discouraged that even one more day of frustration will be too much to handle?

Everyone gets discouraged at times however there are a number ofkey differences between people who keep on going and those whogive up:

1 Focus On Your Goal Not On Your Problems

One of my mentors is a highly successful property developerand he loves solving problems. All day long he can take on oneproblem after the next and just keep going.

How does he do this when most people would feel overwhelmed?

He understands the importance of focus. He never loses sightof his goals and his goals so excite him that problems arenothing more than stepping stones to the achievement of hisoutcomes.

If you are feeling discouraged it is very likely because yourfocus is on what has not worked; your setbacks and your fears.

Discipline your mind to focus on your goals and discouragementwill fade into the distance.

Expect to learn by trying new things and to find out what worksby making mistakes. Then keep adjusting your approach until youget the results you want.

I went from being shy with people to developing confidence andcharm by trying new approaches day after day until I found whatworked for me.

It is only because I knew what my goal was that I was able todeal with the frustrations and discouragement along the way.

2 Ask For Help

You do not have to deal with everything alone. Ask for helpfrom someone who is qualified to help you and act on theirgood advice.

Two minds are better than one especially when your mind isfull of discouragement.

And, you will feel stronger knowing that someone else isbacking you, keen to see you succeed.

When you think about it.

The only thing stopping your from getting from where you areto where you want to be is -- learning! Learning an effectiveapproach.

If you do not know the answer why waste time guessing when youcan open your mouth and ask?

For example, say there is a person in your community you justcannot get along with. Find some people who have a good rapportwith that difficult person and get their input.

You may have got the wrong end of the stick for some reason andas a result you cannot get anywhere with that person. Whereaswith the right outlook you may have no problem getting rapport.

You may never know what to do unless you ask!

3 Learn How Your Mind Works

Once you take charge of your thoughts and your emotions youwill be able to deal with whatever challenges come your way.Until that happens you will always be at the mercy of the ups anddowns of life.

The most valuable gift you can give yourself is the ability tomaster your emotional state.

The moment I finally understood how to do this was the day mylife changed forever. I discovered how to effectively deal withany challenge without becoming overwhelmed.

Until you learn how to run your brain it really is like havinga super computer without a user manual. The power to persist whenyou get frustrated will never be available to you until youcommit to learning how to manage your thoughts and feelings.

Feelings of frustration, discouragement and overwhelm are notrandom occurrences. It all comes down to how you use yourmind.

Take control of your emotional state and life becomes a loteasier.

And when you are in a great emotional state it is hard to lackconfidence, it is hard to feel nervous meeting new people and itbecomes very easy to enjoy expressing your opinions.
