I have no patience! I just don't have any patience to be mindful. 

We can all use a little patience, right?

So, the topic is about learning how to be more patient with mindfulness. We always feel like we need patience when it comes to things in our life. 

Standing at the grocery store- waiting in line. Driving down the road with the person in front of us driving way too slow. ( that’s mine) or becoming impatient with the people around you, especially during these holiday times. 

How impatient are YOU waiting for that Thanksgiving dinner? 

Mindfulness puts patients into perspective. It helps us get out of our heads so we can see the bigger picture. You know, the is-this-worth the frustration I’m causing myself or others right now perspective. Is it worth getting angry, upset, or annoyed? Most often it is not. 

Because we are trying to change what is. And what is-is acceptance. 

Patience is a byproduct of time. We often feel rushed, annoyed or like we are “waiting” for something to happen. In order for us to have patience issues, we often have a time issue- and it’s usually a concern over time we feel we are losing or going to lose. 

Patience can only exist if you have time that you reflect it upon. It’s part of the thinking mind.

 Here is the interesting thing about mindfulness. 

There is no “time” issue in mindfulness.  

When you're mindful you're in a space of acceptance and openness. 

You're in the here and now- you’re not worried about the past or concerned about the future. 

So the next time you want to feel more patient, become mindful.  

Take 30 seconds to become mindful. 

Take a big deep breath and exhale.

Start off slow. 

Just follow your breath. 

Let it gently guide you into the here and now. 

And notice during that moment, the patient part of you will fade away. 

Thank you for listening. 

Take another deep breath and exhale. 

So, before I go, listen closely and remember this ONE one thing.

Your future is a thought, your past has passed, but your now is always here.
Be mindful-one minute at a time.

Hugs Cheryl
