be more patient

I have really been working hard at being more patient and it seems to be paying off. I’ve been patient in my current relationship, so things have developed at a moderate, healthy pace. I have been patient when driving leading to less hypertension moments on the road. I have also been working on being more patient with myself, realizing that change does happen and it happens most easily when I stop obsessing.

I want what I want and I want it NOW. I am all about instant gratification and impulsive decisions.

I am especially impatient when dealing with people. I become easily frustrated with those who don’t communicate well, or simply do so differently. If I sense any sort of condescension, I shut down completely (or worse, the claws come out).

I have gotten better at recognizing the source of my frustration in many instances, but I need to work on eliminating the source.
