"Help! I'm so impatient!"
Woman's World|May 27, 2024
Cultivating greater patience melts stress and boosts resilience. Here, simple ways to invite more strength and serenity into your life
"Help! I'm so impatient!"

Cue calm fast
Show yourself grace

Before we can be patient with others, we must first show ourselves this grace, says expert Andrea Gould, Ph.D. "Take a moment to put your hand on your heart and breathe, or spend time in nature or listen to music." In fact, Gould curated a "patience playlist" full of tunes that bring her instant calm. Also smart: a patience goody bag. "IfI know I'm going into a situation that will try my patience [DMV we're looking at you!], I'll bring soothing items like a book, my journal and something soft like a shawl this sets me up with options that help me become more patient."
