Hello, and welcome back to Practicing Human, the podcast where every day we're getting

a little better at life.

I'm your host, Cory Muscara, and in today's episode, I'm going to share four steps to

becoming more patient.

More to come on that in a moment, first, let's settle in together with the sound of the

bells.

Okay, so as I've shared in previous episodes, I do have an episode titled How to Become

More Patient, How to Develop Patients, actually.

I talk about patients being the inability or refusal to be in this moment as it is.

And so I'm going to share four steps to work with that impatient energy.

The first step is to simply breathe into that impatience wherever you feel it in your

body, in your hands, in your chest, in your belly, feels though you're breathing into

that.

And then as you exhale, you're relaxing around the impatient energy and also imagining

it dispersing throughout the body.

So it's less localized in one particular area of the body.

So breathing into the impatient energy, relaxing around it, letting it spread out.

That's step one.

Step two is bring your awareness to the discomfort that's causing you to feel impatient.

Some form of discomfort or pain or frustration.
