To cultivate positive emotions, you will draw on your creativity and imagination to cope with negative emotions. Often we are only aware of patience when we’re running very low on it. But have you ever thought about what patience looks like to you? Take a moment and think about patience in a way that you may not have before—give it shape and form. What color is it? What shape? Maybe you see it as an object, like a teakettle or a rock, or maybe something more abstract, like an undulating wave or a gentle rain. It doesn’t matter what you choose—the important thing is that it becomes real to you in a way that it hasn’t been before. By giving patience shape and form, you give it “handles” so you can easily pick it up when you need it—the next time you find yourself getting frustrated, for instance. By making patience real to you, you can change the way you cope with stress and live your life. Today, learn to handle and transform your emotions with this powerful guided practice.
