Lack of Patience. Is self-hypnosis the answer
Thank you all for the feedback on our online coaching calls. I’m delighted to hear of your successes. I know we have some time before the next class, so keep the emails flowing on things you want help with.
I just received an email from one of the students in the class. I’m sure it will resonate with many of you. Here is her question.
Student Question: I would like a self-hypnosis for patience. I tend to lack patience in certain events and when I want to move from one project to the next.
Audrey’s Answer: Before we can decide on what type of self-hypnotic technique would be effective in creating more patience, we need to get some more information. Sometimes a lack of patience is caused by negative self-talk. For instance telling yourself you “can’t” do it. Or saying you won’t do it right enough. Or creating a feeling of overwhelm because you feel the task is too big.
First step is to think back to a situation where you didn’t have “patience”. What does that feel like when you don’t have patience? Is it a feeling you get in your body? Your mind? Both? What are you “saying to yourself?”
I’m going to guess that you are telling yourself something negative about the fact that you are moving from one project to another. Are you giving yourself a hard time for not sticking to one thing? Or are you feeling overwhelmed with the task and therefore moving to a different one
The answers to these question will tell us where to go next in getting relief from stress and the feeling of lack of patience with yourself or with the task.
For those not in the class you can start with the “Haaa Breath” to change your state (of mind) in just moments.
