Take several deep breaths before do anything.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you&#8217;re in a long line in Walmart, decide to\u00a0 slow down and not get worked up. Think about three things you are grateful for.\u00a0 Sing a song to yourself. Being\u00a0 impatient won&#8217;t make the line move faster, so why get worked up for nothing?<\/p>\n<p>Slowing down develops patience.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>Practice delaying gratification<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When you want to eat a candy bar or buy something extra, stop and think about it first. Maybe you don&#8217;t need or want that after all. \u00a0Save yourself some money or added calories.<\/p>\n<p>Delaying gratification develops patience.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>Practice thinking before speaking<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is easy to simply blurt out the first response that pops into your head. But if you have self-control, you do not do this.\u00a0 Instead, you\u00a0 take a deep breath, pause, and then think about what you want to say.<\/p>\n<p>Practicing thinking before \u00a0speaking develops patience.<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p>If you do not already practice these strategies, incorporate them one by one into your daily life.<\/p>\n<p>Help your loved ones develop this attribute that is vital to success.\u00a0 Role model it.\u00a0 Tell them what you are doing and why.\u00a0 Remember that your children copy what you do, not what you say.<\/p>\n<p>Most importantly, remember that patience leads to success.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Let the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/encouraging\" slimstat=\"5\">encouraging words<\/a>\u00a0in these\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/river\" slimstat=\"5\">near\u00a0a\u00a0river<\/a>\u00a0posts help you<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">soar like an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/eagle\" slimstat=\"5\">eagle<\/a>\u00a0above life\u2019s storms.<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobbiejrae.com\/home\/please-read-sad-bj-rae-eagle-encouraging-words\/\">Having a hard day?<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bobbiejrae.com\/nearariver\/category\/articles\/parenting-positive-near-river\/\">Trying to parent a child?<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bobbiejrae.com\/nearariver\/category\/power-love-near-river-bj-rae\/\">Please do your part to end violence.<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobbiejrae.com\/home\/succeed-like-weed-bj-rae-eagle-encouraging-words\/\">You can survive anything that comes your way!<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">If you enjoyed this post, remember that BJ writes\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dictionary.com\/browse\/children\" data-slimstat=\"5\">children\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dictionary.com\/browse\/book\" data-slimstat=\"5\">books<\/a>.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Her\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/encouraging\" slimstat=\"5\">encouraging<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dictionary.com\/browse\/children\" data-slimstat=\"5\">children\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/eagle\" slimstat=\"5\">eagle<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><u><a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/river\" slimstat=\"5\">near\u00a0a\u00a0river<\/a><\/u>\u00a0<u><\/u>common core\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.collinsdictionary.com\/dictionary\/english\/reading-book\" data-slimstat=\"5\">reading book<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">is available on\u00a0Amazon.com\u00a0and\u00a0Barnesandnoble.com.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Buy BJ\u2019s\u00a0<u><a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/river\" slimstat=\"5\">near\u00a0a\u00a0river<\/a><\/u>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/encouraging\" slimstat=\"5\">encouraging\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/eagle\" slimstat=\"5\">eagle\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.collinsdictionary.com\/dictionary\/english\/reading-book\" data-slimstat=\"5\">reading book<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">for a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/child\" slimstat=\"5\">child<\/a>\u00a0you care about today!<\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Four simple ways to practice patience.
