Can someone please give me some guidance? I keep looking at the bigger picture and while I'm taking the steps, I keep letting my mind slip. How do I gain patience?
By forcing yourself to sit through things you don't normally have the patience for, and using tools to get through it. Exposure therapy. One tool is breathing exercises, and there are good ones out there, meditative or not at all. It's not that patient people are immune to being impatient, it's that they've learned to restraint themselves despite feeling the strain of impatience. There's no button to push to be all better.
