Practice Patience with Yourself

Every person on the self-improvement path faces challenges that others may notice before he or she does. Hmmm...



For example: The young woman was really trying to practice her new mode of communication - to let the other person finish what they were saying without interrupting.



OMG! But do you know how hard that is to do when you already know what the other person is going to say?!



Worse yet... Not only did the young woman finish the sentence but she already had an answer, YIKES! The speaker noticed, but did the young woman?



Seriously, your impatience can break down communication. So what could you do?



(1) Be conscious of your actions as you listen to the person speaking.

(2) Let them finish their own sentence.

(3) Wait your turn.



How hard is that?



Eeek! Very hard. So just practice, practice, practice patience with yourself. You'll get better.



Abso-tootly,
