What Does Being Patience Give Us? How Can We Be More Patient?
The queue for coffee is longer than you anticipate, people are moving slowly in front of you, you get late responses to texts and even after two days (!) nothing has happened regarding the job, school or even the visa you filed for.
Many times in our daily lives, we come across circumstances that leave us feeling as though we have no more patience left.
The aforementioned incidents cause enormous waves of rage, frustration, and helplessness in our inner world, even if they may only cause us to lose a fraction of a second in the grand scheme of things.
While some of us are able to contain these emotions, a lot of us end up carrying an angry and depressed attitude throughout the rest of the day because we are unable to practise a little more patience.
In actuality, impatience is a sneaky component that drains us within and has a bigger detrimental impact on our life than we realise.
The only thing separating us from those accomplished, imaginative, sensible, and mature individuals we admire and find motivation in is us.
So how do we exercise greater patience? What does it benefit us to be patient? It was written just for you!
Patience is the capacity to hold our composure until the outcome we desire or require materialises.
Three sorts of patience are reported by research: interpersonal, in the face of adversity, and in day-to-day living.
How composed we can stay when faced with the wants, desires, and shortcomings of others is a key indicator of interpersonal patience.
For instance, our barista who takes a long time to prepare our coffee or our new coworker who we perceive as a sluggish learner. Our ability to remain patient in the face of adversity strengthens our mental and spiritual fortitude.
It demonstrates, for instance, how composed we can be when our case is still pending, our medical care has not yet proven beneficial, or we have not heard back from the school or job we sought for.
The ability to be patient in the face of everyday challenges defines our specialty. Can we, for instance, finish tough or tedious jobs at work on time? What effects does being stranded in traffic have on us?
When we do well in all three areas of patience, we are more likely to be well-liked and appreciated by others, succeed in our careers and academic pursuits, and be extremely focused and productive.
In contrast, low performance is linked to increased impulsivity, a lack of empathy, arrogance, anger, and difficulties in both job and school.
Being patient becomes a unique quality that sets one apart, particularly in the contemporary world.
Snowball issues of anxiety, rage, irritability, elevated cortisol, and aches in the muscles are all exacerbated by impatience.
