Impatience limits us
Greetings friends all. Impatience is one of the defects that characterizes all of us human beings, or rather it is one of our greatest defects.
Sometimes even experience does not bring out what we should have learned over time about not being impatient and waiting calmly for things to develop as they always do.
Why do we want everything to happen in our favor and our way?
We want what we do to be ready when we set our minds to it. We arrange our whole environment so that the things we plan will happen just as the mind has planned… We are not so quick to accept that everything can change in a second.
We make many plans for the future, we plan that we will gain a lot from a task, that we will be on time for something important, that we will finish finalizing the details for an excellent job....
But what happens when something interferes with our plans?
We become irrational, temperamental, and if we are negative and dramatic, we start to play the victim in all our events and tell ourselves why these things happen to us.
When things go wrong it is difficult to be calm but it can be achieved with practice. Every time an event happens that was not planned and that does not go according to our mental reality, we must first take a deep breath.
Did you know that when you breathe deeply you get more oxygen to the brain?
Did you know that when you are more oxygenated you calm down and relax?
If you did not know this, I invite you to practice this therapy. When something goes wrong and it is out of your reach to solve it, I invite you to change the inevitable learned behavior of obfuscating and blocking your mind to solutions and tranquility.
First you breathe deeply, as we do when we go to the gym. Breathe deeply and exhale slowly, three times. After that you will see that your body stops tensing your muscles and your brain starts thinking in another way.
Look for alternatives to the current circumstances and if you can't find the solution just release that thought and let yourself go because you will be fighting against the current and that exhausts you too much. Free your mind, free your body and be patient that while there is life there are opportunities to move forward.
Impatience is a bad counselor; we do things very quickly when we get impatient and, in the end, instead of solving things we complicate our lives even more.
This is something that is learned in life, in our daily walk, I wish I had learned to cope with my impatience when I was young because I would not have made so many mistakes. Of course, those mistakes have led me to gain the experience to be the woman I am today.
That is why I tell you; lack of patience is one of the things that leads us to commit so many imprudences in our lives.
I look forward as always to your comments, thanks to all my dear friends.

One thing that should be mended in one's life is impatience sister. But in stress or in fear we committed many mistakes through impatience so this factor should be taken into careful note.
