Is impatience the thing that causes the most stress in our lives? I mean, think about it. What are the stressors that you have right now? If we wait, our problems usually pass with time. That’s not to say that the outcome will be exactly what we want. (It’s also not to say that we just sit, do nothing, and wait all the time either.) But, sometimes doing nothing is the right thing to do. More than anything, it’s being calm and patient during the waiting period. Patience is about how you act and feel while you’re waiting. Want to lower your levels of stress? Try practicing a little more patience in every aspect of your life.
