Today’s song\video is FRUSTRATION! Young, old or anywhere in between – we ALL get frustrated, right?
Whether we’re learning something new, just having one of those clumsy days or working on a very slow moving computer (who’s with me on that one?! LOL!) – we all deal with frustrations every day, and how we handle them can really make or break our day. It’s a LIFE skill that I’M STILL working on.
And it’s the precursor to dealing with anger and angry feelings. Learning to recognize when we are feeling frustrated AND learning to take a break, a step back, and take some deep breaths before emotions boil over goes a long long way!
I wrote this song a few years ago by request for a family and their sweet boy, Shane. He was really struggling with frustration. Not only with feeling those feelings and how to deal with them, but also getting angry with himself for feeling frustrated.
His parents asked if I could write a song that included information on how to deal with the feelings AND letting him know how normal it is to feel frustration – that everyone does
I pulled this song out again recently while doing my Facebook Lives and Tunes & Tales Zoom Classes and it’s become a requested and well loves song. So – here it is for you today!
I’ve got the lyrics right in the video so you can learn them and sing along – but here is the all important chorus:
Here’s a little peak at the lyrics:
When I feel frustration
It’s and indication
I need to take a break
from the current situation
a deep inhalation
then an exhalation
helps my whole body
make a transformation…
And – it’s not a, like, calm song about calming down – Lol! It’s actually more of a pop song written with the sort of pounding beat you might have when you’re stomping out your frustration – but culminating in some deep breaths and calming down.
