Cue calm fast
Show yourself grace
Before we can be patient with others, we must first show ourselves this grace, says expert Andrea Gould, Ph.D. "Take a moment to put your hand on your heart and breathe, or spend time in nature or listen to music." In fact, Gould curated a "patience playlist" full of tunes that bring her instant calm. Also smart: a patience goody bag. "IfI know I'm going into a situation that will try my patience [DMV we're looking at you!], I'll bring soothing items like a book, my journal and something soft like a shawl this sets me up with options that help me become more patient."
Rehearse your day
