This was everything I needed and more. The introspection that arose as I read every chapter will most definitely have me re-reading this piece like scripture. Thank you for your writing. God knows I needed to read this.

Just this morning, as I noticed myself moving impatiently through the movement and breath practice that starts my day, I thought: "Maybe I should devote an entire year to investigating and practicing with patience and impatience." Felt like a bit of magic to find your essay in my inbox. ❤️

Yes! I absolutely love this, and hopefully get to read your words on this, over time! It's so interesting when it comes to our practices too doesn't it.

I'm usually a patient person, except the times i'm not my usual self. The only time i lose patience with patience is when i've procrastinated a lot and haven't finished doing sth when i should've done it sooner. Unfortunately, when i reach this level, i JUST WANNA FINISH DOING THAT THING, AND CARE NOTHING ABOUT WITH WHAT QUALITY I'M DOING IT.

Yes, that's it isn't it, I think we find our impatience increasing when as you said, when we're not our usual selves. I feel this too!

Great that we're on the same page in this matter. For a long time, i'd subconsciously criticize myself whenever i wasn't my usual self. Now i've started to accept that there's a "not usual" side to me as well.

This was so beautiful to read, Giselle, like a meditation. I am not naturally patient, but very much being forced to learn to become so as I navigate my way through chronic illness cure and timelines that are SO much slower than my formerly impatient and ambitious ass could have ever fathomed. This I am learning much on this subject in my current season, and being humbled by the lesson. Thank you for this essay. ♥️
