Frustration can = Fun

A freind of mine was frustrated and complaining about his encounter with JERKs out on the road while driving to work. Actually he used a different word choice for JERK (be creative as you fill in that blank). He was frustrated by JERKs driving fast to cut him off when lanes merge and so many people rushing the red lights. He said that by the time he gets to work he is so frustrated and in a bad mood that it makes his entire outlook on work so negative. I think this frustration needs to be flipped around. What if you created a fun contest for yourself with these JERKs as the participants in your success. Here is an example. Add them up! Yep, add up those JERKs! Everyday, Every JERK gets you closer to your prize. Like......when you have seen 100 JERKs on the road take a day off work. Then when you encounter that same speeding red sportscar tailgaiting and waiting for a chance to zoom around you Fist Pump the air as you are one JERK closer to that day off! It doesn't have to be as monumental as a day off. It could be 25 JERKs and you get a special "out to lunch treat for yourself". While you are at lunch "toast" those JERKs and enjoy your treat! The point is, if you are happily counting up the JERKs then your stress level is down and that is a healthier way to live.
