Patient, calm and collected
I am trying my best to be more patient now. Instead of getting angry over little things like I used to do, I now practice being understanding.
Like for example, the little kid spilled water over her clothes, I just say change your clothes and that’s it. Whereas before it’s a source of annoyance to me, now it’s nothing more than a normal thing that happens to little kids. Or spilling food that could stain the clothes, seeing all her toys on the floor and she won’t put it in place, writing on the floor with her crayons, and so on.
Being tardy also sets me off big time! It would really ruin my day if you will make me wait. My sister is always late. Whatever we do, wherever we go, she’s always the last one to finish. This was one of the things that we argue about. But not anymore. I now shrug it off, surfing the net or reading a book while waiting for her to finish.
I find ways to stop being angry or pissed off over things. Unless it’s something major, I stay calm and collected as much as I can.
