While I still have so many things to work on, I can definitely say my patience (as far as things that are out of my control) has gotten slightly better. I used to highly stress about time, to the point I felt I had to micromanage ever minute of the day. If I did not have control over every situation, and began falling behind schedule, it tore me up with stress.
That being said, I have gotten better of loosening up the reigns on this roller coaster ride. Otherwise, I would genuinely not be able to live or sleep. One of the most productive ways I deal with my impatient feelings now is prayer. Also taking a walk and writing help out a lot.
I am still working on my patience for other people, including myself. Along with that my grace for others needs to get stronger and more natural as well. We are all struggling with something, most of which we cannot see. I genuinely want to stop jumping off the handle so quickly so that is something to work on for the remainder of the year.
