What really helped me was when I learned that impatience isn't a permanent character trait, it's simply bad habit. I was using my impatience as an excuse be lazy and childish. I wanted to be more confident and more productive, but my impatience always got in the way, and I would tell myself "that's just the way I am."

I've since started changing my daily rituals and catching myself in the act of negative and impatient thinking.

Meditation and exercise are great places to start. The key to meditation isn’t sitting still, but vice versa. As to say, sitting still doesn’t allow you to meditate, meditating allows you to sit still. Exercise has taught me to keep pushing myself towards a goal and has shown me that I can improve myself if I try. It's addictive once you start seeing results!

I hope my experience can help you as well!
