Patience: MDCmaster Something we all lack at one time or another and wish we had more of. During times requiring patience we must take deep breaths, breathe slowly, and attempt to put ourselves in the shoes of the other person or the situation. Not everything is about us...altho wed all like it to be. There are times when I get stuck in traffic or behind someone slow. My first gut reaction is to be impatient and frustrated, lashing out. Once I realize this about myself, in the moment, I can turn it around and then the self-talk comes into play...maybe my God is preventing me from an accident that is gonna happen in x minutes around the bend at xyz-corner....maybe I was intended to be late so I could get to the grocery store just in time to help the elderly lady catch her shopping cart that got away from her in the parking lot....so many things could be the catalyst. Altho it is difficult to do at some times, we must do our best to catch ourselves in the moment and just stop, chill, breathe, and reprogram our reactions.
