Why Are You Impatient? - Patience

Hello Everyone & Welcome Back to the RealPositiveGirl Podcast!

Thank you so much for joining me again!

Happy Tuesday!

This week's theme for the podcast is: Patience!

Patience is a skill that every single one of us needs & can work on. Practicing patience within different parts of our lives may seem easy, but it's important to think about how we act while practicing it & evaluate if it was worth it for our desired outcome. Whether or not you feel like you are winning at the patience game, please join me this week for some tips on how to dominate this skill!

Here are some great ideas on how to become better at practicing patience!

Here are some notes from today's episode:

• I learned something very interesting about being impatient - it doesn’t derive directly from not being patient. It actually comes from being pushed to take action when something we want to accomplish is going to take more work than we first anticipated.
• This means that being impatient isn’t necessarily a negative thing all the time. It can be, but I will get to that in a bit.
• We can become impatient if there is a secondary choice we could be making instead of waiting for the thing we are being patient for.
• And being impatient can help us decide whether we should continue being patient in what we are currently doing & keep pushing on that goal or to change course if we think it’s worth changing up your plan.
• I personally believe that impatience becomes negative when it’s driven by an intense emotion.
• Is your impatience due to anxiety? Anger? Being too used to instant gratification?
• One of the best ways to start your journey to overcoming impatience is to ask yourself why you are feeling this way. Consider what emotions, like some of the ones I just listed, are driving this train of thought & where those emotions came from.
• It’s also important to ask yourself if continuing on with your goal is still worth being patient for? Are you still going to get the same amount of joy & return out of it as you originally thought? Is this goal still important to achieve?
• The last question to ask yourself is if additional obstacles have come up, making it less worth your time, effort & patience.
• Just remember that whatever decision you make, it should be based on whatever works best for you. Don’t worry if you put all this time & effort into something that you end up cutting short or realizing is not worth your time any longer because again, it’s about what is best for you & your goals & priorities.
• But the biggest suggestion I want to hammer home is to go through this questioning to make the best decision that you will not regret.

Please share this podcast with anyone that may need this encouragement!
