Hey friends welcome to Skillopedia. The place to learn skills for the real world. You’re
with me Niharika and in today’s session we are gonna learn, How to develop patience?
Now here’s the problem, well you have a project report that needs to be sent to your
client and you ask someone to finish it for you. Maybe for various reasons the report
has been delayed. What happens next? You start stressing out, you start panicking and the
last thing that you do is yell at the person for being so slow and putting you behind your
schedule. So that means you have no patience. Does that sound familiar to you? So in today’s
session we are gonna look at tips to stay calm when under pressure. Yes as we all say
that patience is virtue, so let’s have a look at some tips to stay calm.
The first thing to develop patience is to find the cause. Now every individual have their own triggers.
You know the trigger points? Yes there are trigger points that make you enter that zone
of impatience. So which are these trigger points? Probably crazy people, who trigger
you off and you get really impatient, probably different situations or probably the awful
traffic. Yes I hate being stuck in traffic. Well, I get really impatient, but then here
we are gonna learn, how to develop patience? So you can start with making a list, take
a notepad and start making a list. Just stop and think, when was the last time that you
were really impatient and stressing out and getting extremely agitated. You can also take
help from your family members, from your friends or your co-workers. Probably they are the
ones, who kind of have an idea that what really makes you impatient? What triggers you off?
What are the causes? Well, the other reason that you get really crazy or you lose your
calm is physical distractions. Physical distractions here I mean, probably you’re hungry, you’re
dehydrated or you know, you feel a little dizzy that also makes you feel really irritated.
Well, there’s a quick remedy for that? A simple glass of water and probably a snack
or maybe a cup of green tea. That kind of relaxes you and you can stay calm even under
pressure. So go ahead and make a list. What are the causes? What triggers you to you know
act in this awful manner and that would help you to find a solution. So let’s begin with making a list
Well the second thing that you need to do in order to develop patience
is to slow down. Now probably you are the one, who loves to work in rush. You know,
you just want to hurry up with everything and just finish everything immediately. That’s
not really possible, because if you want a good outcome. Well, as I always say that patience
is virtue, you need to stay calm, you need to slow down. For example, you are at work
and you just want to finish this task that’s been given to you. You try to rush around
with it, you try to hurry up and you don’t get the right outcome that kind of drives
you crazy. Well, it’s because you need to develop patience, just slow down take a deep
breath or take a short break. That should really help. Now there are certain instances,
for example, that you are stuck in a long queue at a grocery store. The queue is really
long and you just don’t have the patience to wait for your turn. Well, you can’t really
help. You can’t start screaming at the person ahead of you or you just can’t start screaming
at the lady, whose at the counter. That would be incorrect. So what you can do is start
listening to some music on your phone or just enjoy the people around you. Look at the people
around you, probably you’ll spot a good looking guy or probably you’ll spot a good
looking woman. So enjoy the view or for example, you’re stuck in an awful traffic .Well,
you can’t really help it. Your cars cannot fly right? You have to be stuck in that bumper
to bumper traffic. So what do you do? Well, again listen to some music, enjoy the view
around you. But make sure that you slow down in life to develop patience.
Well, the next tip that I have for you in order to develop patience is to take up some hobby. Remember
as a kid, when we were given a book to read? We used to get really impatient, because probably
there were too many pages in the book, but reading is important and maybe that’s exactly
the reason, why we can read today, because we started very young. So probably you can
start reading, read as much as you can and try to finish the book. Don’t get very impatient;
just try to finish the book. Another thing that you can do is start to cook. Well, cook
from the scratch. Do not just buy instant meals and put it in the microwave and heat
it up. That’s not gonna help. When you start cooking from the scratch, you realize that
it is so easy to achieve patience. Like you realize that probably if we go slow, the outcome
would be really great. So start cooking or start reading or start doing some creative
work, like probably painting or doing some crafts work or sculpting. This also helps
you to achieve success, when you are trying to be more patient.
Well the forth and the last tip that I have for you in order to achieve
patience is to expect the unexpected. Well,
life is full of twist and turns and it’s important for you to accept that gracefully.
Well, I’m sure that you always have a plan. You are set with a schedule, but then you
need to be a little realistic. Things can go out of the way. Now, if you’re not realistic.
You won’t be really prepared for the bad outcome and that will kind of make you go
crazy. You would lose your patience, Am I right? So you kind of need to go a little
easy with certain circumstances, with certain situations or even with certain people. So
that is when I say that expect the unexpected. World would have been much smoother, if the
computers didn’t crash, if there was no traffic at all, if babies didn’t cry, if
people were not so annoying. But then this is our life. It is full of twist and turns,
so be prepared for that and expect the unexpected.
So this brings me to the end of this session
today. Hope these tips are really helpful to you and the next time, you get very agitated
or irritated. Just go through these tips and do not forget to subscribe to our channel
