The path of patience is a difficult one but provides good results. Patience is not just a word. It is a tough feeling in really miserable, disastrous or challenging situations.
PATH OF PATIENCE
1. Learn to wait:
The path of patience starts with waiting. An amazing way to practise patience is to make yourself wait. A study in Psychological Science shows that waiting for things can actually make us happier in the long run. You can start with something small like waiting a few minutes extra to drink your favourite milkshake and then try to wait for something bigger. You will begin to gain more and more patience as you practice.
2. Do not concentrate on unimportant things:
We all have somethings in our lives that take time away from what is actually important. One way of getting rid of stress is to stop doing those things that waste time. Take out some time and plan out your week. Have a look at your schedule from when you wake up to the time you go to bed. Eliminate a few things that you do that are not important but take time. It is time to learn to say no to things that cause stress and make you impatient.
3. Avoid things that make you impatient:
Most people have various tasks in their head, and they jump from thought to thought without finishing one task at a time. Our lives are interrupted as we try to multitask and it is frustrating when we are not making progress. We should be mindful of our thoughts and a better way to understand this is to note down what is making you impatient. This will help you slow down and concentrate on one task at a time and remove those tasks that stress you out.
4. Relax and practice yoga:
The most important thing is to just relax and take deep breaths. Taking slow deep breaths can help you calm the mind and body. This is an easy way to help ease any impatient feelings you are experiencing. If breathing does not help, taking a walk to clear your head can be helpful in getting refocused on what is the most important. The point is to find some time for you each day to relax and calm yourself.
4. Practice gratitude:
Practice gratitude. Grateful people have a lot of patience. The path of patience can lead to gratitude.
By being grateful, we can try to protect ourselves from being frustrated and from adversity. Practising patience in daily situations for example with our punctuality, irritating co-workers will not only make your life more pleasant in the present but also will help you pave the way for a more successful life in future.
Reasons to be patient:
1. If you cultivate patience, you will have better mental health
Patient people experience less depression and negative emotions, merely because they can handle upsetting or stressful situations. Those who are more patient toward others also are more hopeful and more satisfied with their own lives.
A type of patience involves going through difficulties in life without frustration or despair, example thinks of the unemployed person who constantly fills out job applications or the cancer patient waiting for their treatment to work.
And finally, patience over daily battles like traffic jams, long ques at the grocery store, a malfunctioning computer seems to go along with good mental health. People who have patience are more satisfied with their lives and are less depressed.
In a recent study, it has been stated that impatient people usually have unsatisfied life. They are triggered easily and have panic attacks.
2. Patient people are good friends and neighbours
In relationships, patience is a form of kindness. Think about your best friend who comforts you day and night over the heartache that just will not go away easily. Research suggests that patient people are co-operative, empathic, equitable and forgiving when compared to impatient people.
A different type of selflessness is found in people with patience, an amazing personality trait which is characterized by warmth, kindness, and cooperation. Patience enables us to tolerate flaws in others, hence displaying more generosity, compassion, mercy, and forgiveness.
3. Having a patient can help us achieve our goals:
The path of patience, the road to achieving goals is a long one, and those without patience, who want to want good results immediately may not be getting as expected. Patient people exert more effort towards achieving their goals than other people do. People with patience make more progress and are more satisfied when they achieve their goals when compared to less patient people. A greater level of satisfaction with achieving big goals explains why are these patient achievers more content with their lives in general.
4. Patience = good health
A study found that patient people were less likely to suffer from health problems like headaches, acne flair-ups, ulcers, diarrhoea, pneumonia and most importantly idiopathic diseases. Other research has found that people who are impatient and irritable- a Type A personality—tend to have more health complications and worse sleep patterns.
Meditate, pray, love yourself and find peace within yourself.
