"Patience is not simply the ability to wait -- it's how we behave while we're waiting." --Joyce Meyer
Why Your Brain Hates Slowpokes
Slow things drive us crazy because the fast pace of society has warped our sense of timing, creating expectations that can't be rewarded fast enough-- or at all. How can we stave off the slowness rage and revive patience? Meditation and mindfulness may help, but Northeastern University psychologist David DeSteno suggests that practicing gratitude is the best shortcut of all.
BE THE CHANGE
Notice how your irritation rises when what you want doesn't happen fast enough, and think of your great-grandparents walking or horseback riding to places before there were cars. If that doesn't work, be grateful for all that helps us help each other :)
