Being patient is not easy sometimes especially when you are in a tight and difficult situation. However, patience will be an ordinary skill for you if you are able to nurture it starting from your childhood. Learning and practicing patience is very important even for you, children, because it develops your determination and perseverance. Here are the simple ways on how to be patient. Ask yourself why you are in a hurry. This is the first thing that can help you cool down. This will make you realize that being impatient will not help you in any way. You should have good time management in order for you to avoid cramming or panicking. When you were delegated with a certain task, you should see to it that you finish it before the deadline because you often end up being impatient if you are in a hurry. You must identify what factors make you impatient. You can list the things that make you anxious, worried, or unhappy. When you are able to avoid these things, then you will avoid being impatient also. When you are aware of these factors, you will be aware of how to assert yourself in a way that you will not feel anxious or frustrated. Have a positive attitude always. You will learn to overcome bouts of impatience, if you remain positive always. Always look into the brighter side of things. Do not consider other people and circumstances as being unfair to you. Avoid thinking of yourself alone because you will end blaming others and your loved ones. Always remind yourself that some things take time. There are things that you cannot accomplish right at the moment. When you want to achieve something, it requires you to have patience, dedication and determination. You should not think that if you have not accomplished something "now", then it is a waste of time. You should have the desire to finish your goals even when it requires you to wait. There are times when you need to expect the unexpected. It is inevitable that there are things that happen beyond your control. It really helps when you prepare yourself for those things. Too much expectation sometimes can give stress and pain to you. Be realistic in your expectation and always expect that there are twists and turns that will happen along the way. Remind yourself of what really matters in life. Being impatient will only give you stress, frustration and unhealthy relationships with your family, friends and loved ones. When you are at the point of getting impatient, remind yourself about the things that really matters. This will make you more objective in your decision and this will give you clarity in your goals. Do not focus on the negativity that you feel at the moment but focus yourself on being kind, generous and forgiving to others and being grateful for all the blessings of life.
