Which one of the following actions is more appropriate for dealing with major frustrations than with minor frustrations?
a. gaining control of your life
b. performing a physical activity
c. blowing off steam
d. using positive self-talk

The answer is letter B.

Frustrations can be let off through physical activity. People who perform a physical activity are able to divert their attention from a negative into a positive perspective. This is because exercise is known to have beneficial effects not only to the body but also to the brain. Often times, frustrations are a result of anxieties that have no known cause unless identified by an individual. Sometimes a good long walk or a quick run will pinpoint the sources of these stressors because the mind's attention is diverted into physical exertion.
