Hello and welcome back to practicing human the podcast where every day we are getting a little better at life.

I'm your host, Corey Muscarra, and today we are going to be talking about how to develop patients.

So let's start with the bells.

I'll ring the bells and you listen to the sound until it dissolves into silence.

Here we go. Oh and before we start just remember

focus with your full presence as if this were the most important thing in the

world. Okay.

And actually, sorry, I should have said this.

If your mind wanders and you're caught up in thoughts and ideas,

it's okay, like you don't have to beat yourself up for it. You just notice it. and And by the way, somebody was saying the other day are these two bells or one bell, these are two bells.

So if that's like a worry in your mind before we go into this, just know that it's just two bells.

All right? I'm clinking them together, not hitting a mallet in case that was a curiosity.

Okay, we'll get into this. I'll ring them once, focus with your full presence, full attention.

And one more thing.

Are you feeling impatient yet?

If so, good, my evil plan worked.

Let's use this as an opportunity to explore what the experience of impatience is.

So drop into your body right now and just notice what's going on for yourself.

Is there tension tightness?

Is there lingering frustration and anger at me of like get on with it?

Is there leaning into the next moment, maybe even still waiting for the bells?

Like when are you going to give me the bells?
