The important thing is to try not to rush and want everything right away, you have to set yourself some very concrete mini-goals to face the situations you know perfectly well.
In everyday situations that don't depend on you
In these cases, in order not to lose patience, the watchword is to relativize and try to see the positive side of the situation. A waiting line that lasts, thus, can be an opportunity to talk to your child who accompanies you to do the shopping, or to observe how the people around you are dressed. If you are on the street, why not look up and observe the places where you are, where perhaps you have passed a thousand times, but which you have never really looked at. You bet, you'll discover a detail you've never seen before. Or, you could exchange a few words with your neighbors in the queue, if only to complain about the slowness of the queue, the disorganization ... in this way you could create a more relaxed atmosphere!
If those around you make you wait
Your child who does not move, the colleague who takes it easy, your him who is never ready while you are out and waiting for a while, an elderly person who is looking for words ... there are countless occasions in which, despite all the good will and affection you feel for your loved ones, you would like things to go faster. In these cases, if you already know that you will lose your temper, play in advance by trying to talk to the person concerned, explaining them that he shouldn't get irritated if you show your nervousness soon. If you can, find something to do while you wait. So you will have less of the impression of having wasted your time.
Be realistic
Do not think, therefore, that you will be able to be patient overnight. Don't think that showing slowness to the person you wait regularly will change their attitude, or that your child will no longer cry at night.
And being realistic, it also means accepting the fact that you will not change partners, that often events do not depend on you, but also that, sometimes, it is possible to improve things! If you can, therefore, do not hesitate to propose concrete solutions to speed up the situation. Going forward step by step you will be less gripped by the feeling of impatience and gradually you will learn to be more patient.
When things are not up to you and there is nothing you can do to improve the situation, try to relax! Sure, that's easier said than done, but it's very useful. You do not have to save the world, your intervention or your impatience will not advance things faster, so try to distract yourself and not think about what attracts your attention, look for another concrete occupation. This attitude will be very useful for learning to better tolerate the defects of others.
And then, everyone knows: "Patience is the virtue of the strong ...!"
