I wanted to start a discussion on patience in Spirituality. I will admit... I really struggle with this. I think it is a combination of my ADHD and the instant gratification our society has instilled in us. I have gotten better, but I still have "temper tantrums" every now and then. Anyone have a similar experience?
I've read this is all part of the awakening process and to let your ego react how it needs to so that you can release built up negative energy and heal. In the post-tantrum clarity or even during the tantrum, I usually realize the real reason for my outburst. It makes me feel like a child sometimes 😳, lol. Advice is always welcome.
Instant gratification vs. delayed gratification is a constant struggle. For me, it’s just a form of still trying to control certain things. When those moments hit, I try to just take a beat. Walk away. It always sounds easier than it is, but it doesn’t have to be. Just say “I’ll be right back,” and go breathe for a minute. Especially if it’s spiritually related. And what’s more spiritual than stepping away for a moment to breathe?
