#### In order to do this, we must:
* Create awareness of the type of feelings and emotions that frustration generates in us and analyze them.
* Learn to assimilate the fact that desires are not needs that require immediate resolution.
* Recognize that perfection does not exist and that being absurdly demanding with oneself precipitates frustration because it paralyzes productivity and ability to be creative.
* Control negative impulses that are detrimental to the goals and emotional stability of the individual. Remembering the negative consequences that the impulses caused in past situations allow the person to learn not to make rushed decisions as a result of their frustration.
