Practicing patience; choosing patience. This is something (full disclosure) that your girl struggles with. I find that my patience is becoming thinner, perhaps due to my daily use of the ever-evolving technology that provides instant gratification. Since rediscovering my wellness within the past few weeks, and especially since reading that incredible book from my last post, I have been trying to make a conscious effort to exercise more patience. I feel so much better when I don't become such a raging bitch and get all antsy! And I notice a positive change in how my husband and I interact, and how he is around me.  

I am notorious for becoming very anxious when I am faced with change or a big decision. I ruminate, perseverate, and make myself sick to my stomach. It's as if I think, the more I think about it, the outcome I want will happen! Ok notsomuch - me thinking about it is not going to change someone else's decision nor change a situation. I get wrapped up in all the possibilities or the other's persons way of thinking and make myself worry incessantly, and therefore cannot think clearly or handle daily tasks. I get über overwhelmed.

Thus, this is where choosing to be patient comes into play. Think carefully about what need you are attempting to express, state your peace with confidence, and then let it go. It's done, it's out there. Remember that scene in "When Harry Met Sally"? (This is a movie my mother, Aunt Shell, and I always quote) Sally says to Harry, "you can't take it back...because it's already out there!" This is my new patience mantra. It's already out there, nothing I can do. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine (quote by Robert C. Gallagher). Why spend so much energy on something out of our control? All we can do is to think positively and trust that everything will fall into place, trust that everything happens for a reason.

Today, this chick chooses patience (and a dash of positivity!).

Great quotes. Very profound reasoning. One of my favorite sayings, it is - what it is.
