In life, whatever we do, our mind plays a significant role, right? It helps us to sleep; it helps us to work, eat, or even to get angry with others or ourselves.But if the mind is the guiding north star of our lives, then why do we get impatient while standing in a queue at a mall when the mind was the one who in the first place helped us to get there.

To be patient, you don’t need any control over your mind.

The birth of impatience happened when humans first invented the wheel. Our thirst to reach somewhere faster led us to invent furthermore transportation mediums that disturbed the cycle or environment of patience, such as ships, planes, trains, and more.With our every new invention, we kept denting the structure of patience in us. However, until the 1960s, patience still had the power upon people. But then, we did the most significant invention of all the time, the Internet. And it shook the foundation of patience. We stepped into the digital world, and everything changed for patience.We did inv<warningtag>entions from factory helping tools to AI-based solutions for our real problems. Now, all we see is faster — no place for patience.</warningtag>

The First Wheel

<ul><li>Order food, and it will arrive in 15 minutes, or you’ll get your money back guaranteed. </li><li>If you want a cab, just open an app on the mobile phone, and your taxi would be outside in a minute. </li><li>No need to stand in a queue at a mall ’cause Amazon.com got your back. </li><li>Haven’t paid your bills and can’t stand outside the billing counter, because you’ve to pee and don’t want to give your spot to another person, then don’t worry, there’s an online portal for that, too.</li></ul>Ah! It seems like there’s no need to be patient.

The Effects

We feel impatient when something doesn’t go according to our habits. And this might lead us to feel more severe human emotions, like anger, disgust and annoyance. However, this impatience caused by our habit only comes when we’re taking/expecting something from other than ourselves. For instance, if you have the habit of having lunch at 01:30 PM every day, and somehow on occasion, you don’t get it at the right time, then you start to feel impatient.

Our Habit

There are situations when having less amount of time can cause impatience in us. Likewise, having plenty of time can also lead us to feel impatient. Amount of time (high/low) + Priority = Impatience

Time, When Things Are Important 

It’s a shared human experience, and everybody feels it. And the only reason why it happens is when we compare ourselves to others. We see and measure our and other people’s position. Furthermore, the feeling of impatience caused by this reason, most of the time, leads us to either something better or worse. It all depends on our thinking and how we are treating and interpreting another person’s success. Is it making a good impact on us or a bad one?

When we see people succeed or getting better than ourselves

The feeling of impatience arrives in us when multiple tasks need to be done. Why? Because by looking at the various tasks, we develop a target or goal, where completing all of these would provide us relief or freedom to do something else.And this feeling of ours to get free from the burden motivates our mind to complete all of those tasks in less time as much as possible.Thus, we adopt the do things faster, the nature of modern humans, and start to get impatient.

Burden

In most conversations, our mind gets out of control because we don’t want to lose — our winning factor.If someone has commented on us, we can’t simply ignore it; at present, our mind and its thoughts are influenced by the mind who likes to win. Therefore, we throw back words without even thinking. The same happens to the other person, and he/she does the same thing as we did. No matter what the situation is, we always like to win. But, the winning factor of ours is pretty nasty when our Attitude gets mixed up with it. With our attitude, we start to see people inferior and ourselves superior.

 Our attitude & winning factor

This happens when we try to avoid things we do regularly. For instance, you want to stop smoking. Now, what will happen, you’d try to avoid it in a day multiple times. But if your resisting power is low, then it would only take you minutes or a couple of hours to get yourself back on the mouthful of smoke. Hence, triggering impatience in your brain. And this applies to everything you’re trying to avoid.

Lack of Resisting Power

If you do something and it would not show any results, then would you believe it? Would you keep doing it regardless of results?Perhaps you are doing something that doesn’t show results, and you don’t want to tell yourself that you don’t believe it.If the answer was no, then you’d have no patience. Why? Because belief is the thing that keeps patience in ourselves. Belief is the thing that tells us to keep walking and don’t quit. No Results = No Belief = No Patience.

Lack of Result

Less expensive smartphones, cheap data plans, faster speed, and lots of lots of garbage content. Every 3 guys in 5 people is a Vlogger. And of course, the Infinite Scroll.We are consuming things that only have 2 to 3 minutes of content. And on Instagram, it only takes 2 to 3s. The Infinite Scroll, causing us to scroll the page in every 1s. We are becoming less focused and addicted to much of much content every minute. This whole short content viewership is taking away our focus and cutting time in our attention span. Meaning, we are getting impatient to see new things every time.

Viewing & interacting with short length content

Everything comes down to a single point. We don’t accept reality, and then further, it makes us feel impatience.You’re getting late, and you can’t accept it, you feel impatience.There’s so much traffic, vehicles honking, radio’s playing the song you hate, and there’s no chance for you to escape. You can’t accept it. Thus, you get impatient.Non-accepting reality gives rise to less patience in our mind and everything around us.

Non acceptance of reality

Turns out there are way too many reasons I could be impatient. Feeling relieved!

In this post, Nathawat Brothers have shared some of the reasons that would give you better ideas about the causes of impatience.

10 causes of impatience people should know | Nathawat Brothers

We’ve been taught to value other people’s opinions more highly than our own. So we develop the habit of worrying more about how others see us than how we see ourselves. This results in a culture where people try to please others to be liked but are ultimately unfulfilled since they do not like themselves.

Not all opinions are important, we can’t make everyone happy

We have to understand that everyone’s perspective of us, and society is unique and subjective. So, while they may be correct about something due to the narrative in their head, it may be completely incorrect for us.
Someone may be having a bad day at work or a bad week at home; these are beyond our control and, most likely, not known to us. While these factors may influence how they react to us, they have nothing to do with us. But, we take everything personally. When a friend snaps at us, we question ourselves. “Did I do anything wrong?” “Did I bother him/her at an inappropriate time?”

We can’t make everyone happy. It’s a straight-up fact!

“The pressure that women feel to be people-pleasers is very real. … Young girls are told to be quiet and pleasant, to be orientated toward others, to not speak up for what they want, and to please others. These gender-based stereotypes are continuously reinforced in our society in a manner that distinctly disadvantages women

We stretch ourselves too far in order to please people and ‘adjust’ in society, we miss the thin boundary we had. We’re left wondering, “How much did I alter for society?” “What kind of progress did I create for myself?” “Am I still the same person?”

For People Pleasers

Our desire to be liked can keep us from doing things that are important to us because we will be preoccupied with weighing what others think and what they may say.We won’t be able to try new things because we’ll worry about what people will think if we’re not good at them. All of this will only increase the pressure and worry related to living up to expectations.Eventually, it will prevent us from discovering our true selves.

Consequences

Our basic social and emotional requirements include that desire. So what do we do?
<ul>
<li>Embrace disagreement — It’s normal for people to disagree, and there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s a good thing because we all have unique life experiences that shape our perspectives.</li>
<li>Realize that other people’s opinions are not our concern. They reflect a person’s mindset. So, if we have a positive friend, they are likely to have positive thoughts and perspectives of the world. Similarly, angry people have more negative opinions and perceptions. And we cannot control what they think.</li>
</ul>

There’s nothing wrong with wanting to be liked by people.

Understand yourself and those around you.

Can’t make everyone happy

Positive sources of stress can be a major career moment like a promotion or receiving funding for a project you’re thrilled about.Getting engaged and planning your dream wedding can be immensely stressful, no matter how good you feel about your upcoming nuptials. Buying a house, a huge indicator of success in our society, can bring up a lot of stress as well. It isn’t uncommon for some to downplay their stress when it is tied to something positive.

Good Stress

Speaking to others who relate to the stress success can bring is one way to begin processing your feelings. Exploring ways to soothe stress on a daily basis, like a consistent meditation practice, can contribute to your overall mental health.

What Can You Do About It?

A study conducted in 2020 states 11.4% of the United States population is living in poverty. Additionally, the stress of the pandemic has led to mass layoffs and some deciding their position is no longer a good fit for them. It is no secret that financial instability is a major source of stress.

Financial Problems

Assess things you may be able to control, whether that is negotiating payment deferments or applying for state-funded forms of assistance.You can also try reaching out to a social worker or a non-profit that can help connect you to resources in your community.Finally, reach out to your community. It can feel taboo to talk about money woes with others, but the reality is many of us have been financially stretched to our limit. There’s power in communal support.

Falling in love and ending a relationship can breed emotional turmoil. While falling in love is often associated with moments of bliss, it can also bring up unwanted emotions.For instance, for folks who have experienced negative romantic experiences in the past, it can be scary to open up to someone new. Ending a relationship can be deeply painful. Divorce, even when it is something that you want and know will contribute to your overall well-being, is also a highly stressful event.

Relationship Issues

Couples therapy is incredibly helpful, even if the goal is an amicable dissolution of a relationship. If you find that you’re struggling with communication issues, exploring how you can shift your communication style can decrease the severity of painful emotions. Looking into the nonviolent communication method is a great place to start.

Burnout is most commonly understood as extreme fatigue and a complete lack of enthusiasm for one’s job.This can result in feelings of irritability, sadness, and even fear. Since the start of the pandemic and the rise of working from home, burnout has become more prevalent than ever.

Burnout

Scheduling days off regularly, ensuring you’re doing things that bring you joy, and setting boundaries with your job responsibilities are all ways to combat burnout symptoms. In addition, try identifying the biggest stressors in your life. While it's important to relieve symptoms, you want to make sure you're addressing and healing the root cause of your discomfort as best you can.

Whether is childhood trauma, a strained relationship with family members, or high expectations from your parents, it is completely normal for your family life to be a source of complicated emotions.Beginning to understand your triggers is a great place to start. Do you get nervous around the holidays? Is your birthday always a hard day?

Family

Begin planning ahead for the times you know you may be especially emotionally activated. If you’ve experienced childhood trauma, somatic therapy can be especially helpful.

We don’t have to know the cause of every emotion we experience. As humans, we are simply emotional beings and it is a gift to be able to feel into the complexity of life. If your feelings are becoming too overwhelming, it may be time to seek additional help.

You either need to have it already or find a way to make it.You can earn money through various types of work, such as being an employee or entrepreneur (self-employed). Work can be either location-bound, meaning you must be in a certain area to do it, or location-independent, which allows you to work from anywhere.

How to Become a Digital Nomad

Sitting for long periods of time at a desk might not only be affecting our waistline and adding on the pounds to our scale. We are sitting in front of our computers, scrolling on social media longer, and watching hours of our favorite Netflix shows. However, prolonged sitting is adversely affecting our bodies and our brain health.This article looks at how the COVID-19 pandemic influenced sedentary behavior, how sitting harms your overall health, and what you can do to alleviate issues brought on by sitting too much.

We know that many suffered from brain fog and the sense that their brains were sluggish, fuzzy, and unable to focus. Others grappled with mental health challenges. In combination, many factors took a toll on people’s energy levels and ability to go outside for a run or walk. According to this study’s results, people increased their time spent sitting by a whopping 28%. Everyone was using screens more at home, school, and work. During the pandemic and even now, these sedentary behaviors have transformed into a dangerously sedentary lifestyle.

What Did The Pandemic Do To Us?

When we spend most of our time sitting or lying down, our leg muscles are not working. As the largest muscles in our body, they are now taking in minimal fuel from the bloodstream. These muscles then are not releasing substances that break down fatty acids in our blood.As a result, the metabolism slows and the regulation of blood sugar is affected. These metabolic changes result in an increase in sugar and cholesterol in the bloodstream. This translates into a greater risk for diabetes and heart disease.

Why Is Sitting Harmful?

Researchers at UCLA found that more time spent sitting was linked to thinning of the brain’s medial temporal lobe. This region is critical to memory formation.The team focused on the medial temporal lobe because this area of the brain declines with age and that leads to memory impairment.

How Does Sitting Influence Brain Health? 

Stand more: Researchers found that standing is associated with better insulin sensitivity.  Insulin sensitivity is directly related to a chronic health problem: diabetes.  Because thinning in this area of the brain can be a precursor to cognitive decline and dementia in middle-aged and older adults, this preliminary study gives cause for concern.

How Sitting Harms Your Brain and Overall Health 

It frees you to pursue your own interests, both personal and professional. To that end, it’ll boost your productivity, improve your relationships, and fill you with a sense of confident calm that may seem alien to you at this moment.

Saying no to people is one of the most important skills you can

Being assertive means having the self-confidence to express your needs and wants, and pursue your own ends, even in the face of opposition. It involves telling people where you stand on a given topic and leaving no room for confusion. Assertiveness is declaring your point of view and not feeling as if you need others’ approval or validation. It is a learned trait.

Psychology of Assertiveness

We want others to be drawn to us, to trust us, and to feel better for having spent time with us. It's unsurprising that we often say yes when we know we should say no. It's an instinctive response borne of our longing for other people's approval. But it's important to recognize this yearning for validation as a trigger for our tendency to say yes. When we're aware of our motivations, we can review them and take steps to realign our decisions with our values.

We want others to like us

Emotional bullying occurs when one person makes another feel afraid, angry, or self-conscious for the purpose of achieving his or her ends. This is accomplished through a variety of means, including the following: yelling, swearing, making threats, lobbing insults, humiliation, making accusations. Take the high road. Because you're aware that the abuser is knowingly being manipulative, you'll be less compelled by his or her tactics. You won't feel shamed, fearful, guilty, or embarrassed. Instead, you'll recognize the bully's shouting and swearing as indications of his or her personality flaws.

We succumb to emotional bullying

Burdened with a low self-image, we mistakenly believe our time is worth less than others' time. We wrongly assume our goals and interests are inferior to other people's goals and interests. We perceive our value to the world as somehow less than the value offered by those around us.

Disappointment springs from unmet expectations. When you acknowledge this fact, you'll find it easier to let go of your fear of disappointing people when you say no to them. You'll come to appreciate that their disappointment is neither your fault nor responsibility. This perspective will give you the courage to stop accommodating every request and invitation that comes your way.

You're not responsible for causing others disappointment

The more you do it, the more you'll come to realize that your time, commitments, and aspirations are just as important as those of the requestor.

Saying no can actually improve your sense of self-worth.

The word "no" carries an air of final-ity. Many people are ill-prepared to hear it, and lack the ability to accept it with poise and understanding.

Replace “no” with another word

If we avoid taking ownership of our decisions to decline requests, we never feel truly empowered with a sense of personal agency. Every time we say "I can't," we train our minds to avoid taking responsibility. Over time, this gives us the false sense that we're not in control.

Take ownership of your decision

They have higher expectations of you than your coworkers, friends, and neighbors. They expect you to drop what you're doing to help them. The solution is to set new expectations. You must establish boundaries that are respected by your relatives. Create rules regarding what you're willing to help with and what you're not willing to help with.

The Art of Saying No

Every single one of your thoughts is either helping you move forwad in life or holding you back. Positive thinking is about favouring the one that moves you forward. And it's never too late to change your thoughts and reshape your beliefs to support, rather than hinder, yourself.
If you view something as negative, how can it also be positive at the same time? Therefore, how can one ever evaluate life as being positive, from a negative sense of perception?

Positive thinking

We learn to care about how others feel about us but avoid focusing on how we feel about ourselves. This creates a society in which people try to impress others in order to be liked, but deep down they remain unsatisfied because they don't like themselves.
We change ourselves to fit in, rather than changing the world by being ourselves.

We're conditioned to care more about what others think of us

To sustain happiness, you must work towards self-mastery. It's an inward journey that requires substantial spiritual growth.
Choosing empowering thoughts over limiting ones should become your natural way of thinking. You must make it a habit to look on the bright side of things and let go of the past; to stop living in the future and appreciate where you are and what you have right now; to withdraw from comparisons, and love everything in this world without condition. Embrace what is. 
This is what true happiness is. It's lasting and it occurs when you remain at the highest frequency.

What if you could feel happy all the time?

To recognise love in spite of criticism, you have to understand that everyone's perspective - including your own - is limited and subjective. 
People tend to fear what they can't understand. So make an effort to understand where your loved ones are coming from and what may be the root of their concern or cynicism.

Good Vibes, Good Life

We crave novelty, yet settle for a one-career life. 
We crave novelty, yet choose to define ourselves by just one role, one title, one function, one designation.
We have one life. But we don't need to be one person.

We have just one life. Why live it with just one identity?

You actions decide your luck. So does your lack of actions. Luck isn't really good fortune. Luck is what eventually happens when your hard work yields results.

Luck happens to those that make things happen.

We know ourselves through our thoughts. But we know others through their actions. That is true for others as well. It does not matter what we say. What matters is what they see us doing.

You are what you do. Not what you say you'll do.

The best sportspeople have coaches who work on their min training. Playing amidst the pressure of millions of eyeballs. Performing despite the media frenzy. Doing their best even when they're going through a heartbreak. Sports aren't only physical. Because anyone can get physically tough. It's the victory, the control of the mind, the joy of deciding what to focus on that leads to victory on the sports field. The inner world drives the external one. Always.
