7

ways to become patient

1. Drink less coffee. Black tea, coffee, cola, and chocolate contain

   caffeine that can be the reason for irritability.

2. Check your medicine chest. Increased irritability can be a side effect

   of some medicines and hormone contraceptives. If lately you lose your

   temper more often than usual without evident reasons, consult with your

   endocrinologist.

3. Look for the way out. Try to remove constant temper spots. It drives

   you crazy that your husband is constantly forgetting to close a tube

   of toothpaste? Buy tubes that do not have covers.

4. Say “no” to people. Often we lose our temper when we

   have to do what we do not want to do. But we agree because we cannot

   refuse. If you are too busy to help your colleague with a report or

   have no desire to watch the film your friend likes, just refuse.

5. Make up a rule of the last warning. It especially affects children

   well who try your patience. Arrange with them that after the last warning

   you will really get angry. So, when you say: “I warn you for the

   last time”, children have a choice – to stop being naughty

   or to prepare for the punishment.

6. Do not take too much upon yourself. You cannot make everybody be

   just like you wish. Your intentions are probably the best when you make

   your husband do morning exercises and your children practice music two

   hours a day. But finally they decide themselves. And everybody would

   be happy if you supported his or her decision instead of thrusting your

   own.

7. Accept that you are not always right. Of course, you are the best,

   but sometimes (very rarely, surely) your decision is not unique and

   other ways out are possible. If you learn to accept it, your nervous

   system will be healthier.
