Patience can be a toughie, especially if you have a tendency to be impulsive or frank with your position or opinion. Guess what? Patience can be cultivated and built up just like a muscle.

Quotes:
"The bottom line is yes, take deep breath relax your shoulders then ask yourself is it true? Is it necessary? Is it kind? Do whatever you need to do~ count to three, count to 10, turn around in a circle, walk away, walk around the block…do whatever you need to do to give yourself a little bit of patience, a moment to yourself to look at it a little more deeply without fired up emotion and then act, speak, do, be, whatever it is and your life will be so much better.” —Cheri Augustine Flake, LCSW
“Take a deep breath and relax your shoulders.” -Cindy Dollar, PharmD
Excerpt from New York Times interview with Lisa Damour, PhD: Culturally, she says, “we started equating mental health with feeling good—calm, relaxed, happy”—rather than simply having feelings that make sense in a given context, and learning how to manage those feelings and cope with distress. “Of course I want people to feel good. But that is a very harrowing definition of mental health.”
