Patience

 

 Patience

 

In our current times, we are surrounded by lightening fast technology, decision making, expectations, life…  Practicing patience in an era where it seems no one has any patience may feel counter-intuitive but patience allows us to slow down, calm our minds, show compassion, love and be loved. 

 

Being able to tolerate delays without feeling angry or frustrated is a necessary quality for our greater good. Easing our minds mentally also allows our bodies to physically function in a stress-reduced state, lowering our blood pressure, staving off illnesses and not compromising our immune systems.

 

So how does one practice patience when all things point in a different direction?

 

·   Persistence – the ability to keep moving forward even if you cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel.  Having faith that you are moving in the right direction without distraction brings a sense of inner peace.

·   Acceptance – believe that everything happens for a reason and even if the reason is illogical, it will be revealed at a later time when and if it is necessary. Whatever is happening now is the way it is.

·   Peace – having a sense of serenity and knowing that whatever distraction is happening, it will pass, as the now is what is meant to be.

 

Practicing patience alleviates the need for anger.  When we are impatient, we go through a gamut of emotions from irritation to impatience to anger and then rage.  Not only does patience help us achieve that which we desire, it helps us keep our anger in check.

 

The easiest way to practice patience is to count to 10 or take 10 deep breaths.  This creates space between an impulse reaction and an actual action step.  Practicing patience with others allows us to slow down and enjoy life with a new viewpoint.

Plan

 

Imagine taking a trip without a map. Imagine building a structure without blueprints. Imagine going through life without a plan…

 

Do you drift through life letting life happen to you?  Does it give you angst when you know you have a higher purpose but don’t know where to start? 

 

Let’s get out of that existential funk and begin to craft the life we want to live.

 

Crafting a life plan is not a simple task and will not take an hour to complete.  You will need to commit to writing, meditating, contemplating and soul searching and expect this to take time.  If you have the ability, go somewhere for a weekend alone and work on this – camping, hotel, man cave… however you can be alone to work on your life’s plan.

 

Begin to define who you are. List out your roles – husband/wife, boss, worker, sister/brother, volunteer, citizen, friend, etc.

 

Prioritize these roles to determine which are most important.  Identify which roles cause the most stress and which are the roles you want to explore or give highest priority to.  By identifying these roles you will uncover patterns and those roles you want to eliminate.

If that sounds like something you want to develop, let's connect!
