Thanks Yes I am very careful what I ask the Good Lord for. I do believe what he says , “Ask and you shall recieve.” As long as you really trully believe this it well happen.

Hi Debbie,

I am glad that your request for patience worked out (at least we know that this tip works )
You are right that we must always be ready for what we are asking for. If we are not ready to accept the gift then it will turn into a punishment.
Thanks for sharing your experience with me.

Good tips, but one time I ask for patience and it was the stupids things I ever ask for. Every time I turned around I was needing patience about or for something. I ask for that request back and life was a little easier.

Since then i am careful when I ask for something.
More of the story is, be careful for what you ask for, you really might not want it when you receive it.

Thanks for the tips and may you always be blessed with happiness.

What a wonderful post. Thanks for sharing so many good tactics.

No matter how centered I think I am, that slowpoke can often really get to me. In that moment I imagine that this person has been delivered in my path as a reminder to slow things down. I try to remember to take the time to be conscious and present in the moment (or mindful as you say) and know that my agenda is just that my agenda and tomorrow all will be well.

Thanks again for the ideas…

Thank you for this idea Senthil. I am sure that when you combine mindful breathing with counting you can not only regain your patience but also relax and become present in the moment. Thank you for your input!

I forgot where I read it, but a simple exercise is to count 100 breathes. Not fast breaths, but slow mindful breaths as in noticing your lungs contract and expand with each breath. I think counting your breathing is better than just counting till 100.

That’s a great advice. I always prefer to be among the people who do their shopping on December 12 but a few times I had to be the second group too (maybe a day before Christmas but it does not matter.) That’s a BIG test of patience because everything around you is slow and crazy.
Thank you for visiting and leaving your wonderful comment Amanda. I hope to see you here again
