Why Practice Patience?

Others often see impatient people as arrogant, insensitive and impulsive.
They can be viewed as poor decision makers, because they make quick judgments or interrupt people. Some people will even avoid impatient people, because of their poor people skills and bad tempers.

People with these personality traits are unlikely to be at the top of the list for promotions to leadership positions. Impatience can even affect relationships at home.

The more patient you are with others, the likelier you are to be viewed positively by your peers and your managers, not to mention your family and friends.

Signs of Impatience

How do you know when you're being impatient? You will probably experience one of more of the following symptoms:

Shallow breathing (short breaths).

Muscle tension.

Hand clenching/tightening.

Jiggling/restless feet.

Irritability/anger.

Anxiety/nervousness.

Rushing.

Snap/quick decisions.
