Practice of Patience

 


  Let's take a seat back together, what are the main qualities we need to inculcate to be successful at work or in life? Yes, hard work and reliability are some of them. However, one quality that is more important but not quite often discussed is patience. 

  Patience is our ability to wait without becoming upset, annoyed, or angry. It's about self-control rather than lashing out and complaining. When one is patient, one is calmer and more open to changes. Patience is a virtue, but it's not always easy to do. Let's say, we all want instant gratification and want things without waiting. That means we have very little patience.

  If we understand the importance of patience, we understand of being patient tries to stay calm and focused even in situations where waiting is not easy. This is why patience is an important life skill. It can lead to transforming our relationships, potential, and peace. In this article, let's talk about how to practice patience.

  Make yourself wait. The best way to practice is willing to make yourself wait. According to a study, waiting for things actually makes us happier in the long run. To get started, try something small like waiting a few extra minutes to stand in the queue at a shopping centre. You will begin to gain more patience as you practice. 

  Focus on important things. We all have a lot of things in our lives that take time away from what is important. This can relieve the stress from our lives if we stop doing things that are not important. Look at the daily schedule, if you don't have one take out two or three things that are not important. It's time to learn to say no to things that cause stress and make us impatient.

  Relax dan take deep breaths. Above all, just take relax and take deep breaths. Taking slow deep breaths can help calm the mind and body. This is the easiest way to help ease any impatient feelings you are experiencing. if that doesn't help, have a walk outside to clear your mind, and helpful in getting focused back on what's important. 

  Patience is sometimes called the mother of all virtues. It is very difficult to practice at first, but if we believe in patience will be easy to achieve. It is time we all slow down and practice a little more patience. We would be less stressed, calmer, and more mindful of the things that stress us out. Worth trying, isn't it? 

Thank you for your time and as always have a nice day 😀.

Leader Vs Boss

    Some people might use the terms "boss" and "leader" interchangeably, but that's not entirely accurate. The truth is, some bosses are simply a boss. They have attained a position in the management section of the corporate pyramid. Those positions alone don't make them leaders. They are just pushing their employers while "sitting down". However, bosses can become leaders, and doing so should become a priority for those who want to effectively lead in the workplace. So, what is the difference between a leader and a boss?   A boss refers to an individual who is in charge of the employee or an organisation. He exercises control over employees, assigns tasks, and duties to them, and is entitled to take decisions on some matters. There is no formal title like "boss" in the organisational chart, but the term indicates a person who is the owner or appointed as head of the organisation, department, or division.   On the other hand, the term lea

About Phubbing

    In the Digital Era, smartphones have become the number one priority in society. When it comes to our smartphones, nothing else in our lives gets as much attention. A single notification can branch to half days only checking the status or short videos on social media. If we lose it, the stress starts to build up rapidly. Getting by without a smartphone really is not possible anymore, and from that other areas of our lives are bound to be affected.   Phubbing describes the act of "phone-snubbing". It is a term that most people might not be familiar with, but the action is certainly one we all recognise. If we are going outside let's say, how often have we been physically in the presence of someone, but they're emotionally "not there" because they are absorbed in their smartphone? Quite a lot, isn't it?   Smartphones and text messaging help partners display love and affection to each other when they are physically apart. However, what happens when smart

Early Birds and Night Owls

  In this world, there are two kinds of people in this world, people who love to hear birds chirping in the morning, and people who wish the birds had a mute button somewhere. Someone likes the sun going up, someone likes the sun drowning to keep the night up. In other words, early birds and night owls. So, which one are you?    Early birds or morning people. They are awake in the morning and love to welcome the new day. Early birds tend to go to bed early, wake up early, and feel their best as the day begins. As a general rule, early birds find a society more accommodating than night owls do. Early birds generally have an easier time adjusting to standard daytime schedules.    On the other hand, night owls or night people tend to stay up late, enjoy sleeping in, have more energy at night, and feel tired after waking up early. Night owls do have a few downsides. They might have a harder time holding a traditional job. Young night owls might have trouble making a fixed school or univers
