Practicing patience to me means lots of PAUSE and HALT. Postpone Action Until Serenity Enters. Then ask myself which of the four most common stressors applies; Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired – typically a combination of at least two for me. It sounds like a lot but the more I practice these the less time it takes. About the time it takes me to shove a fucking cookie in my face.
I had weird dreams last night. I don’t remember them exactly, but I know I was over committing myself to things and then freaking out about needing to be more than once place at the same time. The other was about messes around the house. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get the mess cleaned up before another happened. I’m not sure what they mean.
It’s early and that’s all I’ve got. Let the shit show of life get started and see how I do at practicing patience today. Progress, not perfection lady!
