"Patience is the ability to count down before you blast off." ~Author Unknown
Question:
Whether it is counting down or taking a big old deep breath....what can you do to calm yourself so you can avoid blasting off?
What does patience mean to you?
About me:
I used to have a very short temper. I mean very short. Over the past few years I have mellowed...a lot.
Things that used to frustrate me just don't seem to anymore.
I worked with a coach whilst I was studying to become one and I can honestly say she has assisted in the change of the old me to a new and improved version...the best person I can be.
I use meditation...a very short space to collect my thoughts and ask myself in a deep down place "what can I do in this moment to stay calm and avoid any negativity?" I then imagine my body as a beacon of pure light and I can avoid the blast off that would have stepped into it's place before....now it's your turn....
Oh geez. I fail miserably. I am overcome and overwraught. I've very little patience, it seems, and I'm not sure where I might find some. I do try, though. I do try.
ReplyDeleteFailing is part of who we are.
ReplyDeleteWe only view failing as wrong because somewhere along the line somebody told it wasn't a good thing to do.
Perhaps you are overcome and overwraught and that's exactly where you need to be right now.
