How do you keep yourself patient?

I'm also human and sometimes, I can't help but be mad. I usually breathe deeply before reacting. I don't know how I get used to this but I just noticed that whenever something or someone is pissing me of, I take a deep breath, relax myself and then react. For me, this gives me time to think before reacting, say something to myself of what I should do before saying something or doing anything. Hope this will be a help.

Patience takes practice. The best way to achieve patience is to think about something else, walk away before you say something you don't mean or want to say or to step aside and breathe deeply.

for my 28 years here on earth, i never yelled at my mom because of anger. for as long as i can, i keep my patience tightened. i always think that she's my mother and that even if she is annoying sometimes (hehe), i always must show her the respect from me. i just tell her what i think of in a low toned voice. and we just talk about it. a mom of my friend confide to me days ago about how her daughter raised her voice at her for the first time. she was totally in shock and since then, they never talked again. crazy, right? well, if you can't help it, atleast try to go to your mom and apologize. you have done it already and for sure, you have hurt her feelings. we should remember that one day, we will be parents, too and we don't want such things to happen to us, too. so, if ever it happens again, don't wait for days to patch things with your mom. you won't really know what happens next. apologize. it's the best we can do. life is short so better make the most out of it with our parents than hating them.

i am also the same way. when i get bugged i try to ignore it but sometimes i do loose my temper and start yelling. my cousin does see me like this once in a while and tells me to relax. to take a deep breath and let it go. go outside once in a while to take that away from you.

Hey jen. If you can remain calm during the confrontation, do so with this thought in mind. After any confrontation with your parents, your siblings, friends, etc., go somewhere peaceful and write your thoughts down. Start a journal, not a diary. Then at some point later that day, next few days, week, go to the person and tell them how they made you feel. By doing it this way during a confrontation, you will be thinking about what to write in your journal so later you can approach the person intelligently. They will be most vulnerable now that they are calm. ‹(°¿°)›
