What type of things do you do when you run out of patience?

Also what do you need patience for and how long can you wait for?

I get aggrevated….I need more patience for situations like if someone interrupts me when I am trying to tell them something or they are singing while I am talking to them…….small things like that. I’m very impatience when it comes to waiting too.

Get a bowl and put a hole in the bottom. Then slowly scoop water into it and don’t stop until it’s completely full. Don’t quit :| I don’t think that will actually help, it was just a story I was told as a kid XD

Aquiring patience, may take patience. One tried and true, is to force yourself to count to ten. Also you have to decide to fight or flight. Go outside for a bit to re-evaluate things. Star at something in the room, taking your mind off the immediate response to loose your cool. Hopefully when you re-train yourself to be more patient, you will appreciate the response you get from doing so. It’s never to late to work on improving ourselves, because none of us are perfect. Good luck, you can do this :)

I don’t blame you for being that way when you are trying to talk to someone and they are doing everything they can not to listen, I think anyone would get a little aggravated in that situation.
Try breathing methods, breathe in the nose and out the mouth big and slow to calm yourself down and thing or something nice.

Avoid the people who make you feel that way as much as possible, also when you do have to talk to them mentally prepare yourself for the fact they will butt in and make you feel stressed.

Think about how much more excited you will get by the time you finally get what you are waiting for. As for the interupting thing I don’t blame you, when people interupt me I interupt them back saying um I was talking would you mind waiting untill I finish. I normally turn it into a joke

Oh good, maybe people don’t realise just how rude they are being so just point it out, most people apologise and stop doing it.
I used to be sooo impatient, now I just get excited waiting for things, as I think it’s going to happen and just do other things to take my mind of it, like stuck in a que or something I tend to get my phone out or play on my Ipod, take a book or magazine with me so my mind is on something else. As for waiting for things like Christmas can’t help you there I am sooooo excited I might explode !!!!!

YOu have to make yourself wait.Each time you do this it builds making you stronger for the next time.Its something only you can do , no-one can do it for you.Its a matter of telling yourself ‘NO’ while recognizing if somethings good for you or not. There are wants and needs. If its a need you just do it, if its a want then its not a priority. Priority is what comes first, wants come last.Does that make sense?

Take deep breaths through your nose. You can breath better and more when you breath through your nose. And it’s actually good for you. Yeah, it can be cold sometimes but it’s good.
So remember, don’t take deep breaths through your mouth, but nose. And it calms you down, too! I do it when I’m about to get a needle.
