Answer 1

meditation or any daily spiritual practice.
a discipline that you stick with.
breathing and becoming aware of your body.
learning to completely focus yourself (for example on listening patiently or doing something with patience)
meditation is basically developing the ability to focus.
it will give you patience.
i recommend starting with yoga or aikido.

Answer 2

Take everyday one day at a time, and choose what part of your life you want to organize for that day and do only that. You can become more patient by trying to think how it would feel for a person to be waiting on you. Would you like it if they were complaining while you were taking your time to do something or think? And practice "if you dont have anything to say, then dont say anything at all."

Answer 3

i know i know what you mean..it takes a lot of practice as i would get all flustered in traffic jams and long lines until i realized i was just shortening my life agonizing over details that i had little control over.
sometimes you have to plan ahead and sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and put up with aggravating times in your life.

with patience you will not only live longer but have more serenity in your life...try yoga or deep breathing exercises or pop some dope..legal of course...he he he

Answer 4

Keep a good perspective, be realistic, and don't lose sight of what's really important.

Let me tell you a story: I was 31, focused on my future, my marriage, plans to further my career and start a family. I lived in one state, my parents lived 4 states away. I talked to them weekly, but hadn't seen them in a very long time. I got a call just after Halloween from my parents. Mom said that dad (who had been feeling ill) had lung cancer. He did not have long to live, as it had spread to other major organs and chemo or radiation would only prolong his pain.

I quit my internship for my Master's degree, left my husband to work and pay the bills, packed up, and moved to my parent's home. I put everything on hold and spent every remaining day of my father's life with him. We talked, laughed, and spent real time together before he became too ill to do things anymore. Then my role became that of a caregiver. Mom and I took care of the man who brought me into the world and took care of me. Mom and I helped him transition, to move on comfortably. My dad passed away 4 days before Christmas of that year.

I tell you this to give you perspective. You have goals and you have "stuff" that clutters your life. Remember what is most important. When it came down to it, all of the stuff in my life on the day I got that phone call was not important. My family took priority. It still does.

When you get anxious, stop for a moment and refocus. Take a mental step back, take a deep breath, and think about your priorities, remembering what's really important.

Give your wife or mom flowers for no reason, say "I love you" to those you love, hug your kids/family, and take time for yourself. But most of all, remember what is important to you!

Good luck and God Bless!
