How Do You Practice Patience

Patience may be a virtue, but I’m not very good at it—and I’m probably not alone. The following advice may help you practice patience.

Try to figure out why you are in a hurry

We tend to lose our patience when we’re multi—tasking or, when we’re on a tight schedule. If you’re stretching yourself too thin, you should reconsider your to-do list before you attempt to change your natural reaction to an overwhelming (压倒*的) situation.   36 

Remind yourself that things take time

people who are impatient are people who insist on getting things done now and don’t like to waste time.   37   Think about your happiest memories. Chances are, they were instances when your patience paid off, like when you worked steadily towards a goal that wasn’t immediately satisfying. Almost anything really good in life takes effort, and if you’re impatient, you’re more likely to give up on relationships, goals, and other things that are important to you.

Expect the unexpected

Yes, you have plans, but things don’t always work out as planned.   38   This applies not only to circumstances, but also the behavior of those around you. If you yourself blowing up over your spouse (配偶) accidentally forgetting to take out the trash(垃圾), you’re not in touch with the fact that people aren’t perfect. Even if the occasion is not an isolated incident but is instead caused by their repeated carelessness, losing your patience isn’t going to make it any better.

Give yourself a break

  39   Just sit quietly and think. Don’t watch television; don’t even read. It may be hard at first, and you may even feel pretty impatient after a minute or two, but by taking some time out you can slow your world down, and that’s important to develop the attitude necessary to develop patience. Second, stop holding yourself and the world around you to unreachable standards.

Remember what is valuable

  40   Move the world toward peace by being kind, generous in forgiveness of others, being grateful for what is, and taking full advantage of what matters most. When other unimportant things fuel our impatience, taking time to remember any one of these items reduces our tendency to want something different right now.

A. Make plans carefully.

B. Accept the turns in life gracefully.

C. However, some things just can’t be rushed.

D. First, take a few minutes to do nothing.

E. People think that it is not easy to gain patience.

F. Not focusing on what matters most in this life fuels impatience.

G. Try to spread out your tasks so that you’re doing only one thing at a time.
