Ep 146: More on Patience - One Big Beautiful Human Mess
from Your Favorite You · host Melissa Parsons
Patience is not a neat, tidy virtue that you either have or you don't. It's a beautiful, messy, interconnected web where your patience with yourself shapes your patience with everyone else. And when impatience creeps in, it creates a spiral of disconnection that benefits no one. The good news is that patience can be a practice. It takes persistence to develop, but it’s something you can cultivate in your life. I've been working on this for years now, and I still mess it up all the time. However, the effort is worth it. In this episode, we’ll explore why patience is so complex, especially for those of us used to pushing, fixing, or perfecting. You’ll understand why impatience is often just resistance to reality, and I’ll share practical tips to help you build patience so you can feel more connected to yourself and others.Click HERE to get the full show notes.
