The term patience is taken from the Latin word pati which implies pain, suffering, bear. Patience is the ability to stay patient when waiting on an result you expect or desire. So patience is a struggle for most of us. Getting the opportunity to endure waiting, uncertainty, or irritation without being irritated or angry is very challenging.We should keep full power of our thoughts or desires and act confidently in the face of challenging or stressful circumstances.
Nevertheless, becoming diligent in today’s environment is already becoming challenging due to the instant technological developments we get into habit that enable us to acquire knowledge and absorb almost everything we want-right away. Then why should someone even be patient enough to wait for anything.
However, completing our target or sustaining good partnerships or maintaining calm mind patience often plays a major role in our existence. Something worth doing takes a great deal of energy, commitment and effort to achieve on schedule with the aid of patience alone.I still reinforce the point that you should first fully understand it in order to properly overcome or fix a issue. Which is why you have to know that the initial level of patience derives from before you understand how to become more compassionate.
Your childhood is the initial root of patience.
In later life the coping style you learned as a child is generally the same. If you realized that fighting and crying forced your mom and dad to give in forcefully and let you “win it” you undoubtedly started with an initial low patience.
From the other side, whether your mom or dad is strict yet supportive, when confronted with difficulty, they definitely established a new mind frame and hopefully began with a higher degree of tolerance beginning. When you grow older and matured through adulthood, the maturity you now have is determined by your experiences with others.
Patience is important for success and you can make a lot of effort to learn this “ability.” And if in all areas of your life you want to be successful you should make every effort to become a more patient person.
Here are the main benefits you`ll get by becoming more patient:

- Take a day where you make patience your goal for the entire day. :
This lockdown is the perfect chance to cultivate the discipline of patience. Just make a deliberate attempt to take your time to reflect about what you do, be conscious to stay in the moment. At the end of the day, consider all the times you’ve made better decisions, get along with others, and really appreciate what occurred. Prepare to do it on a regular basis. Much is needed to develop patience like physical exercise.
• Slow down.
Most people struggling with patience can never answer this question.
“Why are you in such a hurry?”
If you have the tendency to rush around and try to hurry things up, want things done immediately and can’t wait for things to take their natural course, STOP. Take several deep breaths before you act or make a move. For example, if you’re in a long lineup at the grocery store or in heavy traffic, make the decision to pause and not get worked up. Do some isometrics, listen to the radio, or just enjoy the view. Getting impatient won’t make things move along any faster, so why get worked up for nothing?
• Practice delaying gratification.When you choose to have the dessert, have a second beer, or purchase your tenth pair of red trainers, pause and think about it first. Perhaps after all, you don’t need or want all of them that much. You can save yourself a little time or add calories. •
Practice thinking before you speak.
At times, we distort the first idea that comes into our minds without realizing the implications. If we are patient, hesitate and go through what we intend to convey, we will avoid hurting or insulting anyone.
- Increase Your Self-Confidence
Impatience typically raises its ugly head when you feel let down, or when you don’t feel in control, or maybe you feel like your hands are tied. You want anything to change NOW, but you really don’t want to be willing to do something to move it quicker. A individual with a high degree of confidence would embrace the condition as it is; they will not combat it or protest about it. They ‘re going to deal on it, rather.
To become more patient, know that patience and confidence go hand in hand. Throughout life, you have to choose and select your battles. Yes, there are occasions where you have to take a firm stance and move against the wind, but in much of the day-to-day instances, it’s not only healthier, but also simpler to go with the flow of events and have the courage to cope with life when it unfolds.
- Put On Your “Positive” Glasses
Patience is more about understanding and the way you react at circumstances.
For example, if you miss a bus, don’t dwell on negativity, but consider positive things like walking outside or loving fresh air. So consider having a good outlook to everything you do; you’ll discover that you’re not only going to alleviate stress, but you’re going to be a much happier person.
Always turn a negative situation into a positive situation. ― Michael Jordan
- Understand & Counteract Your Triggers
Impatience is something that is triggered. This trigger is different for everybody but it has the same purpose. To become more patient try to “understand“ what your trigger is. What is that thing that you think about or feel right before you lose it? Maybe your trigger is when someone screams at you? or if someone calls you a certain name?Reality is that the trigger — the first step to overcoming it is to recognize it and seek to expose the deep-rooted anxiety that allows this trigger to occur in the first place.
If you realize what the trigger is, you will try to overcome it by using relaxing activities or strategies if you sense the trigger is building up.
For certain situations, the release of holed-up is impatient.
- Relive stress and anxiety:
There are many ways to release this pent up stress and anxiety inside of you, But the methods I like the best include:
• Exercising Regularly
• Taking Time For Short Meditation Sessions
• Doing Breathing Exercises
• Practicing “ME” Time where you daily track where you are in the day, how you feel, why you feel how you feel, what is triggering any negative feelings and being compassionate to yourself and treating yourself with love. Use this time to help yourself like you would a really dear friend who has had a tough day. Self-love goes a long way.
