meditation

detachment

are helpful tools in learning patience...

Yeah, so far detachment seems to be the only thing working in my favor.

It is suppressing my emotions though and i think that can be harmful too.

HAHA, pretty much, Hey is this a classified disorder yet???

I think it is a sickness that should be classified---

Im just kidding, calm down... just need another reason to blame my own imperfections on a "Disorder"

Patience is not my strong point, but I try not to be so impatient all the time.

Patience is overrated. You identify the goal and go straight at it. No wishy-washy crapola. Some folks don't care for this - those are the ones still messing around with e-mails while the rest of us are out on real dates.

Impatience is something that happens because we have not learned to disengage, take a step back and look at the situation for what it really is as opposed to what we think it is. Instant reactions are what gets us into trouble.

The average person is said to have between 50,000 and 70,000 thoughts a day. 80 percent of these thoughts are negative in the average American. We can lower that percentage but we have to reprogram our brains to be creatively possitive.

kinda hard 2 do the meditation and detachment when u have a child around 24/7 but yea i get what ur sayin!

yay, i have three....whew!

A big part of patience is replacing negative words with possitive ones. Can't, don't, won't, words like these can be replaced with can, do, will. In speaking I have even replaced cuss words and have noticed a big change in my thinking. Not that cuss words are bad, it's just that I was only using them in a bad way.

Instead of looking at what we hate about a situation we can look at what we like about it, or what we can learn from it.

Ever talk to someone and catch yourself using almost all negative words about a topic, or listening to someone doing the same. Well this has a huge effect on your thinking and actions.

I call this my negative/possitive meter.

this is very true!! not always the easiest thing 2 do and it does require ALOT of practice and u will have slip ups but thats life! surround urself with ppl that r gonna build u up not tear u down!

Detachment of the outcome, not emotion suppressing.
I couldn't suppress my emotions if I wanted to....

i raised 3 boys alone, I hear ya.

A few minutes a day is better than none at all.

I've gone with my negative meter on for years before and didn't even know it until I made some changes in my thinking (didn't take much either) and I was amazed at how my thought process became not only more possitive but also more alert.

awareness is half the battle...so i have heard

sometimes it takes certain things 2 happen in order 2 open our mind and eyes! patience is the hardest thing we can teach ourselves but it's not exactly impossible
