Revisited Episode 3 - Be Patient With Yourself

The Perspective Matters Podcast

It is rather cliche but it still holds true; we live in unprecedented times! Now more than ever we need to be patient with ourselves first and then with others. In this episode I revisit the topic of Patience because we need this gentle reminder. Life is coming at some of us hard, fast and aggressive. As we navigate this new world and grapple with our new normal we have extend to ourselves grace and compassion!

In this revisited episode; I expand the discussion by sharing three tips with you:

Practice - practicing patience is really the only way we will get better at being patient. Look for opportunities to practice. Remember being patient means you are accessing that personal power that allows you to wait without being angry or upset.

Pay Attention To Progress Not Perfection - None of us are perfect and yet while this is true it is not an excuse to not strive for improvement. We were not handed a manual on how to live in a pandemic! So do the best you can and if you fall short be gentle and forgiving. Praise yourself when you succeed; celebrating your victories will encourage you to keep striving.

Reduce The Stress - Exhaustion and overwhelm seem to be constant companions in our lives. To really embody patience; we need to audit our lives and determine the areas and source(s) of our stress. Where possible delegate or outsource tasks so you don't take on more than you can truly handle. Know when to ask for help, ask for help and accept the help!

My beautiful souls I send you love, peace, joy and I wish for you an abundance of opportunities to practice patience. Remember there are two sides to every coin; just flip it to get the full view!
