That is why there are many emotional people nowadays and it seems so bad. People think that it is not easy to gain patience. But here, you will find out that there are four wise steps to build your self-patience or to develop it in you daily life!.
Tips on How to Develop Patience
Take a day where you make patience your goal for the entire day.
Make a concerted effort to take your time and think about everything you do, be mindful and live in the moment. At the end of the day, observe all the ways in which you've made smarter decisions, got along better with others and actually understood what took place. Learn to do it on a daily basis. Developing patience is much like physical exercise because it requires persistence and effort.
Slow down.
If you have the tendency to rush around and try to hurry things up, want things done immediately and can't wait for things to take their natural course, STOP. Take several deep breaths before you act or make a move. For example, if you're in a long lineup at the grocery store or in heavy traffic, make the decision to pause and not get worked up. Do some isometrics, listen to the radio, or just enjoy the view. Getting impatient won't make things move along any faster, so why get worked up for nothing?
Practice delaying gratification.
When you want to reach for that dessert, second drink, or buying your tenth pair of red shoes, stop and think about it first. Maybe you don't need or want any of them that badly after all. You can save yourself some money or added calories.
Practice thinking before you speak.
At times we blurt out the first thought that comes into our heads without considering the consequences. If we're patient, pause and go over what we want to say, we can avoid hurting or offending others.

Becoming more patient produces a lot of good things. For example:
• Happiness is easier to find and retain. When we’re angry less frequently or to lower degrees, stress levels go down. Since logic can never overlay emotion, it’s always smart to stay in a positive place.
• We make better decisions. Pros and cons get blurry when we’re too impatient to focus on both clearly. This is very common when we rush through things that are outside our normal routines and comfort levels.
• Empathy becomes a tool on your tool belt, not an accidental occurrence. Empathy makes us better listeners, parents, coaches, mentors, and friends. Interpersonal relationships strengthen and gain value.
• We get better at things that truly matter. A great example is baseball star Cal Ripken Jr. When Junior and his younger brother Bill were growing up, their dad—longtime Oriole coaching legend Cal Ripken Sr.—insisted the boys practice endlessly and perfectly. Cal Senior was cliché-driven, and one of his favorite lines to his sons was, “Rome wasn’t built in a day.” Through repetition and hard work, the Ripken brothers practiced baseball for thousands of hours more than you can possibly imagine. Bill had limited physical skills yet carved out a good Major League career. Junior became a living legend. Neither brother cut a corner. They worked, worked, and worked some more. And when everyone else went home, they went back out and worked some more. The Ripken brothers patiently trusted that the time they invested would make them better at all the little things that mattered. Time proved them right. Patience transformed both men’s lives.
