Hey Aaron, nice tip I’ll be sure to try this out. I’ll do anything to be a calmer and nicer person. I decided the last straw for me was the other night, I got in a huge fight with one of my friends and some guy which came to beating each other up, I get violent when I’m mad and I need to just forget and drop things. I find myself pissed at myself for the things I do wrong. I really need to fix this.

I love this idea!!! I’m a teacher and I find that I’m getting more and more impatient. I like the fact that it’s so easy but does require some attention. Thanks!!!!

Off to get a wristband…

I am still doing it – though not as consistently as the first few days. It’s hard to distinguish between feeling impatient and acting on the feeling. sometimes, I’ll talk to my kids through partially gritted teeth – not actually losing my patience, but not being patient either…

@Sarah – how is it going? You still sticking with it?

@Jona intense as in loud? Maybe try earplugs along with a wristband? :) If you want a wristband btw let me know.

Good advice Aaron. I need to become a more patient person also. My neighbors are very intense and I like the idea of a ‘reminder’ of my actions or stress levels.

No need, Aaron! I always wear a hairband around my wrist. I love this tip – and am using it diligently (so far.)

Hey Adrian, yeah the simple cue and no beating myself up made this easy (code for it might actually happen). Re street noise that’s a bummer. Hmmm. Is there such a thing as noise canceling sound for an entire room? Might be interesting…

Very interesting, sir. Very interesting indeed. I did that with trial and error way back in the day with jealousy (realize, acknowledge, focus, choose more constructive path, convince myself to take it… try to take it…). A simple cue sounds like it would make the process easier. Create a habit to break a habit. I may try that with “the energy wasted getting annoyed at noise from neighbouring apartments or the street below.”

Thanks.
