This is something most people have difficulty with, especially in our society, everything must be instant. However, our bodies aren’t made like that. You need to slow down and remember that “patience is a virtue”. Having patience teaches you will power which will reinforce your self discipline. Learning to make yourself wait for things can make you happier in the long run, start with something small like waiting a few extra minutes to eat that meal, or taking 3 deep breaths before starting an activity. With slowing down, you’ll realize there are a lot of things that take time away from what’s important. One way of removing stress from our lives is to stop doing these things – be mindful of what makes you impatient - You will begin to gain more patience as you practice.

3. Resiliency Muscle As previously discussed, making a change and committing to ourselves can bring temptations and sacrifices to our lives. It is a necessary part of growth; we all go through it. If we want to live the lives we want, there is a price we must pay. The great news is that the more you practice the easier it gets. As we train these muscles constantly it builds powerful habits for personal development. For this to happen we need to take initiative and keep moving and progressing. You need to be flexible, open minded, connected and motivated. If you get stuck, growth is stunted. You need to do your best to ACT in life not re act. Its up to you to decide that you’re ready for change, you must tell yourself that no matter what comes up – you WILL succeed.
