21DPC Day 3 Question

Today’s positivity question is:

What is One Thing That Has Been Frustrating You Lately?

… and

How Can You Overcome It?

Here is a related article on dealing with daily setbacks which you may find useful in dealing with your current frustration:

And the manifesto version, if you wish to have the tips available in an easy-to-read, poster form:

• [Manifesto] What To Do When Things Don’t Go Your Way

Your Task for Today:

1. Reflect and answer today’s questions. Write as few or as many words as needed to fully express your thoughts. There is no word limit. Answer both questions, and not just the first question.
2. For the step(s) you identified to overcome your frustration, put it into motion. Start with a baby step today, then go on from there.
3. Identify at least one positive thing about your day. It may be something small or something big – as long as you deem it as something positive, it counts. If you have more than 1 thing to share, then by all means, go for it!

Share Your Answers!

After you are done, share your answers in the comments area!

If you’re doing this at the start of the day, you can post your answer for today’s question first, then work on your positivity task throughout the day, then return at the end of the day to share your results for your positivity task and your end-of-day positive reflection.

Check out other participants’ answers. Pick 1-2 participants’ answers and make a meaningful reply to them. Engage in the discussions. This is a group course, so let’s support each other in these 21 days!

Look forward to reading your responses!
