Ep 396 The Benefits Of Being Patient
Who's good at being patient? I know I didn't used to be! I wanted things FAST. I wanted to get results in weight loss as fast as possible, to get over my drinking ASAP, for my husband to change quickly or my co-workers to function faster.
Our culture is built on getting things done the fastest and most effecient way possible.
So, it's our conditioning and programming that has told us to not have tolerance for discomfort and things taking longer.
Good news, it's ok, you are not alone and there is nothing wrong with you.
The idea of patience usually is prefaced by a LACK of patience. We mostly recognize when we are NOT patient.. when we are feeling frustrated or irritated or angry.
So to be more PATIENT, we actually need to learn how to be with the difficult feelings.
When we are faced with an issue that isn't going as we hoped it would be we traditionally thing 'we need to be more patient.'
NO - the first step is ALLOWING the feeling that IS present.
That is patience, allowing the discomfort in the thing that isn't working out the way you thought it would.
Tune into this episode and hear a new way to think about patience and benefits of being patient.. there are many!
The Stop Over-Drinking and Start Living podcast is for high-achieving women who are tired of the cycle. Drinking more than you meant to. Waking up at 3am. Promising yourself tomorrow will be different. This isn't about white-knuckling your way through Dry January. We get underneath it. Why you're drinking in the first place, what you're actually feeling at 5pm, and how to build a life you don't need to escape from.
Every week I'm talking about boundaries, emotions, mind management, and putting yourself at the top of your own priority list, which is the part most women skip.
