Do you feel stressed out all the time? Do you get angry quickly? Is your temper affecting your relationships at work or home, or worse yet, both?
You need Melanie Hutchinson’s book Patience: Your 8-Day Journey to Becoming Stronger, Confident, and More Relaxed. This book is designed as a daily plan that you can revisit as often as you need to make a measurable difference in your patience level in 8 days, and no limit to your improvement over the long-term.
First, Hutchinson identifies what the actual problem is. This is important, because in identifying in specific terms what the issue is that plagues us we can address it properly with direct solutions. The practical work begins immediately in the first chapter, so have your journal and pen ready!
The next chapter of Patience delves into the reasons why you have this issue, and they are deeper than “Traffic is backed up!”. The truth will set you free, and never has that been more true than in this chapter! You will identify why impatience is an issue for some of us more than others, and then you’re on your way to meaningful progress.
Hutchinson then addresses the attitude we must have towards ourselves for optimal self-improvement in this area – no sense in being impatient with ourselves in developing patience! She begins with some small and simple adjustments before she progresses to larger concepts.
Patience utilizes the practice of recording specific instances when we felt impatient. Then, the reader is to reflect back on his own behavior (not the slow driver’s behavior!) and generate some alternative actions we could have taken to be helpful or at least extricate ourselves from the situation. For example, if someone at the grocery store is blocking the aisle with not only their cart but with their four rambunctious children, do you really want to wait for him to get everything one day moved to the side of the aisle so you can pass, or should you just make a u-turn? And then, having identified what to do in this instance, I have a plan for my next trip to the grocery store.
Hutchinson also incorporates apologizing to those we’ve hurt with our impatience. The beauty of apologizing is that it not only clears the air between people, but it also helps prevent us from repeating the same behavior with the person we’ve had to apologize to in the past.
Patience is careful not to have its readers reflect morbidly on the past, but having action plans to address situations that come up more than once. Hutchinson also recommends that readers find someone to be accountable to in this process, such as a close and trusted friend, counselor or clergy member. Also, family members and co-workers you trust can help you to identify times that they feel that someone is showing impatience.
This process will come more easily in some situations than with others, and Hutchinson acknowledges this, but doesn’t let readers of the hook with the harder scenarios. Rather, she encourages us to keep working our plan and planning more effectively for each subsequent possibility.
