Coping mechanisms and strategies differ from person to person, depending on what's the source of your frustration. These sources can be both external and internal.

---

Sometimes it's because of build up emotions inside you, your capacity to hold on to those emotions, wo khatam ho jati he because it's just emotions generating and living inside you, there's no outlet for them to be channelized.

---

Sometimes it's because your psychological and biological needs are not met.

---

And sometimes it's simply because of something that goes out of your control or something that's not happening acc to your will, i.e., cognitive dissonance.
In any case, know your triggers, accept the situation, try to analyze the external/environmental causes, then look at what you're feeling as a result of those triggers (your internal state), introspect, try to have a solution focused approach.

---

Try to respond than to react. Mindfulness and exercise can also be very helpful in most of the cases.
I personally try to do something where I can experience control and that can act as catharsis. As in cooking or writing.

And, why do I always get such subjective questions. 🤧

When I was growing up, we'd wake up to a stocking on our beds that we could open as soon as we woke up. Which had lil stocking filler gifts etc in from santa. And then we would get ready for church. We'd go pick up my nonna, and go to the Christmas Mass that morning. Then go back home after and mum would start cooking the Christmas meal. We'd have music playing and we'd open the gifts that were under the tree from mum and dad, any other gifts from family members sent to us. And also more gifts from santa haha (obviously all by mum and dad but we saw them as seperate because we didn't know any different haha). Then we'd have the Christmas meal, and relax, or play games etc :). Usually my older siblings would travel down and spend it with us, or come down on the boxing day to spend it with us. And we'd have more gift exchanges.

My dad was also a part time DJ so every Christmas was party time to the max haha. Lights, lazers, bubble machines, you name it haha. And then again on new years :). I have many lovely memories at Christmas growing up.

I come from a culture that has many superstitions, but since I am a Christian, I don't believe in that 😁
Just today, my neighbor bought a good knife for cooking for my parents, but she hesitated to give it to me unless I give her a coin, because there is a superstition that if somebody gifts a knife, the receiver will have a fight with someone in the near future, so people in my country usually pay a coin, symbolically, so it's not a gift technically anymore 😂 That made me confused because I don't even know all of my culture's superstitions, but today I learned something new 🤦‍♀️😁
The most popular superstition thou is not going the way where a black cat crossed the street, but, my family has a black cat at home 😎
In my home country, in the city where I lived, there was a huge electric pole that was supported by a wooden log, that created a triangle-like entrance through it. All people in the neighborhood believed that if anyone walked through it, a stray dog would bite them, so they were bypassing it, or they walked through while touching the pole😅🤷🏻‍♀️
Of course, I didn't mind that and always walked through, but if my classmates were around, they literary dragged me another way, to help me avoid bad luck 😂

Set yourself a weight loss target. Make changes that work for your lifestyle. Eat a balanced diet. Don't give up if your progress is slow. Does It Work? You will likely lose weight on any diet if you eat less than 910 calories a day. But losing 10 pounds in 3 days is both unlikely and unhealthy. To lose just 1 pound of body fat, you need to reduce your daily calories by about 500 a day for a whole week.

Eat more foods high in fibre (ie black beans, pulses, nuts/seeds) with modest carbohydrate content.
2. Eat more protein rich foods. This can be any animal proteins, but in time, move to healthier alternatives (plant-based, oily fish etc).
3. The brain has a 20 minute lag effect in response to hormones released and the stomach stretching to inform us of our satiety. Drink a couple of glasses of water before mealtimes, eat more slowly (chewing food 20-30 times before swallowing) and take more time over your meal.

We need to change our association with food and our cognitive dissidence around eating habits. Moralising foods as ‘good’ and ‘bad’ encourages failure and leads to binging, largely undoing all the good work. Simply enjoy the right foods. Whether cooking for yourself, trying new ingredients and new recipes. There are plenty of delicious and tasty foods which do not cause weight gain. Certain vegetables, protein, berries and fibre-rich foods.

Hormones such as grelin, can suppress appetite, which ties in with low insulin levels (keep carbs to a minimum). A high protein/fibre, low-carb breakfast could help improve the hormones that reduce hunger. For example eggs, oats, nuts or porridge.
