The 7 Gemstones of Patience: Discipline and Focus1. Stop resisting. Meet inconveniences, challenges and unplanned mishaps with calm instead of resistance. You have a better chance of keeping your mood steady and patient.2. Recognize and acknowledge the effects of impatience. In the moment of impatience ask, Do I have control over the situation? Is the feeling of impatience helping or hurting me?3. Embrace the situation. Assume the obstacle or whatever is making you anxious was put there to slow you down, make you adjust, or rethink your position. 4. Practice being patient with smaller stuff. Little wins add up to big wins over time.5. Slow down to go fast. Focus on getting things right the first time. Rework often leads to stress which usually results in a loss of patience. Do the work on the front end. 6. Step back and shift your focus. Sometimes walking away and focusing on an entirely different task is what’s needed for you to get back on track. Breathe and proceed.7. Discipline and commitment leads to consistency which leads to success. Patience is a by-product of being disciplined. Know how to hurry up and wait. Trust the process.
