Be patient!

It is important to be patient with yourself if you are battling with a task. The other night I was doing a yoga DVD, and I was hot and sticky already because I just finished my cardio, and I was repeatedly falling out of a balance because my hands kept on slipping. Well, I was highly irritated with myself. My husband was watching me and he reminded me that some days I would be better at it than others, some days my yoga practice would be stronger than on others and that it was not a competition with myself.

Now I think: ..What if I had said that to myself and not relied on my husband to divert me from unkind behavior towards myself? Impatience has a tendency to lead towards decreased self-esteem and a general bad mood. It is also something we tend to brood over, getting stuck in the negative past instead of valuing the present moment. Stay patient and you will be sure to have more peace in your life.

BE PATIENT

Oh, Lizzy, you are so right!  Patience sure isn't one of my virtues - and do I ever get multiple opportunities to practice it every day LOL  

Thanks for the reminder

You're welcome :-)

 You know that could really rain on my Pity Parade   

I'm teasing, if and when my Pity Parade starts again, a little rain is exactly what I would need.
I'll keep this insight with me for when I need it.

Thanks Much!

thankyou for this.  It is a very helpful reminder. Peace is always a good thing to persue :o)  I am terrible at being tough on myself, so will try to be more patient
