Feeling: Frustrated
Your jaw may tighten, brows knit, and energy surge as effort meets resistance. Frustration often arrives when repeated attempts don't land the outcome you imagined. Researchers often view it as a signal to pause, adjust strategy, or seek collaboration before energy is depleted.
Poem reflection
"...it’s clear then
the distance between
my affections and ability
to touch their sinuosity
is itself a felt silence"
- Ted Mathys
