You know the feeling when you've worked your ass off on a project, you've taken all week and worked tirelessly to complete it just to know that the project has been cancelled already? Yeah that just happened to me and it really sucks. Apparently the project I was working on was already cancelled by the client, but my so called work partner did not had the courtesy to inform me. You can imagine my frustration when I finally knew about it today, after I worked all night last night. If you guys are wondering then the project is related to a restaurant application that was proposed by a client.
Anyway, I got so pissed about it. However I did know show my frustration. I did not shout at my coworker and just asked why he did not informed me earlier.
In life in general, we can't let our emotion get the better of you. Few seconds of anger and frustration will lead to you make hasty decisions that you will probably regret later. Stressful conditions are normal in workplace. You often have to face many obstacles and awkward situations that you are no accustomed to. If we are able to manage our emotions then we have better chance at succeeding in life.
Here I list some of the tips that may help you to manage your frustration a bit.

Take a step back

Whatever you are doing, just pause for a moment. Take a fresh air and rethink the situation. Clear your head and think if your current decision will positively impact you or not. It's very easy to loose sight of the bigger picture so evaluate properly.

Talk to close mates

When you are in dire situation it's best that you get someone to listen to your situation. It just help you understand the situation even better and the person listening to you can also provide you some helpful advice. They can help you remain motivated and strong.

Make time for entertainment activities

No matter how busy person you are, every now and then you need to take a break and do something fun. Playing sports, travelling or simply going for movies can be relaxing. This will help you clear the mind and keep you relaxed for other works.

Grab a hobby

I can't stress enough how hobby is essential part of your life. It helps you recognize your passion. It's best if you could turn your hobby to your job. If you can't that's alright too. Every now and then hobbies will help you remain energetic and motivated

Be grateful

Always remember that happiness is only achieved through satisfaction and gratification. Be thankful that you have what you have. There are people who would die to be in the situation you are right now.

Meditation

Mediation has a lot of benefits that people don't even realize. Mediation not only helps to concentrate and focus, you will have a strong healthy mind. Healthy mind can withstand stress, anger and frustration.

So people don't let the small things frustrate you. In few years time you will realize that your problems right now wasn't that relevant at all.

For fun:
