Just because we’ve struggled with patience in the past doesn’t mean we can’t be more patient in the future.

Patience is not a fixed quality, it’s a skill we can develop.

Let’s discuss how to be more patient.

How To Be More Patient?

What Is The Importance Of Having More Patience?

Being impatient can cause stress, and chronic stress has detrimental effects on our physical well-being.

Our physical and mental health grows when we practice patience. We may find that we’ll experience less headaches, acne breakouts, or ulcers.

Patient people may also experience fewer negative emotions overall.

Why Do I Struggle With Patience?

Many of us can become impatient simply due to physical factors such as hunger, dehydration or fatigue.

Keep it in mind the next time you start to feel impatient, a simple remedy might be a snack and a glass of water.

Why Am I So Impatient?

Other causes of impatience can be stress, fear, and worry in any type of situation, but it’s especially prevalent in the workplace.

If we feel like someone or something is letting us down or not performing up to par, we can become impatient. 

How Can I Learn Patience?

Try meditation.  Meditating involves training one’s mind to focus and redirect our thoughts away from daily annoyances.

It can also help us reduce stress, control anxiety, and promote our emotional well-being, all of which help us build patience.

How Do You Fix Low Patience?

• When you’re feeling rushed, consciously slow down.
• Practice mindfulness.
• Actively build a tolerance for being a bit uncomfortable.
• Practice accepting your current circumstances.
• Let things feel broken. 
• Be playful.

What Is The Root Cause Of Impatience?

The main cause of impatience seems to be the dislike or fear of certain feelings, and the effort to escape those feelings through action.

For example, we run into traffic on the way to work, and it starts looking like we’ll be late.

Many factors can cause or contribute to our irritability, including life stress, a lack of sleep, low blood sugar levels, and hormonal changes.

When we feel irritable, small things that would not usually bother us can make us feel annoyed or agitated.

What Personality Is Impatient?

For Type A personalities, time is at a premium.  They don’t want to waste any time at all. We often describe these personalities as very motivated, dedicated and impatient.

What Are Some Qualities Of Patience?

• Self-control.  Being able to control our own reactions to a situation, and endure it without complaint.
• Humility.  Accepting that we are no more important than anyone else, and there is no particular reason why we shouldn’t wait.

Final Thoughts

When you feel impatient, reframe the issue you’re facing. When in an irritating situation, try to think about why it bothers you and put it into perspective.

When feeling impatient in our lives, consider that the universe has a plan for us that we’re not always aware of as it unfolds. 

Things often happen at their own pace regardless of our wishes, and lessons may need learning before we can take the next step.

In a Hollywood movie we often see the protagonist overcome all their problems in a linear, concise two-hour time frame.  Real life usually involves more complex solutions.
