I hate waiting for things.
Sometimes though, I have to.
So how do I quell my general impatience?
----more----
I remind myself that I have no choice.
I accept the reality of the situation and then force myself to do something else.
Does this work?
Most of the time yes.
Does it take a lot of practice?
Yes. But the more you practice active patience, the easier it gets.
So be patient with yourself as you learn to be more patient.
