Have You Got the Patience to Succeed?

Hypnotherapy for Procrastination in Leigh on Sea

Whatever journey in life people embark on there will always be setbacks. The journey can consist of self-development, fitness, starting a business and overcoming adversity. If a person doesn’t respond in the right way to whatever setbacks appear, then it can have the potential for them to just give up and retreat back to where they were before.

There is the term that patience is a virtue. It’s a quality that we all require, no matter how things appear to be. Because, without patience what will there be? Thoughts that are filled with anxiety, stress and depression, are the likely outcome. Yes, there will be times where an individual will need matters to go in accordance to their situation. But life can be like that. Keeping emotions in check is vital during any period of doubts or adversity.

Another reaction to having a lack of patience can be procrastination. After an intense period of effort in trying to improve things, be it in fitness, losing weight, starting up a business, or improving mindset, a person can drift into procrastination. Thoughts like ‘Why bother,’ ‘Nothing ever works out for me,’ ‘I’m wasting my time here,’ can become predominant.

Our hypnotherapy for procrastination in Leigh on Sea will determine the cause, what needs to be worked on, and focusing in on the client’s mindset. Setbacks are a part of life. It’s how anyone reacts during these times that’s vital for their mental wellbeing. By applying the correct techniques of hypnotherapy, we can help a person who’s straying on the path to stay on it, and help them move forward in the right direction.

Patience is a must during any process, that ability to see whatever a person is facing until the end, is a great quality to have. Yes, change is not easy. Why? Because the mind doesn’t like change. By overcoming all the negative talk that goes on within, the journey will be one in which the determined person will carry on, no matter what.

There’s so much to learn in life, everything we encounter, no matter what it is has a lesson in it. Yes, life can at times be unbearable, but then again it can be full of joy and positivity. But that’s what we have to expect from life. It’s not some Hollywood movie whereby life seems like a dream. To be human is to experience a wide range of experiences. Patience is certainly an important part of anyone’s process in life. The alternative is to moan and complain, which will just make matters worse, and at the same time help lose an individual’s will to succeed.

Hypnotherapy For Insomnia in Leigh on Sea  

With a lack of patience, and not being able to bear with the challenges that appear, it can bring on sleepless nights. If the mind is unable to accept what’s happening and can’t switch off, having bouts of insomnia will be the outcome. Then there’s the consequences of having a tired mind, which consist of being overly emotional, not being able to mentally focus on anything, and having mood swings as well.

Our hypnotherapy for insomnia in Leigh on Sea, will get a client to become more relaxed, and give them a chance to be feeling calmer. Clearly, an understanding into why there is insomnia there in the first place, will be looked at. As with all things in life, mindset is everything. To reinforce anyone’s mindset, having patience is probably the most important.

According to the website greatergood.berkely.edu, patience is important because, ‘…Patience is essential to daily life—and might be key to a happy one. Having patience means being able to wait calmly in the face of frustration or adversity, so anywhere there is frustration or adversity—i.e., nearly everywhere—we have the opportunity to practice it.’

The site also goes onto list the scientific researched benefits of being patient.

  1. People, enjoy better mental health: ‘…According to a 2007 study by Fuller Theological Seminary professor Sarah A. Schnitker and UC Davis psychology professor Robert Emmons, patient people tend to experience less depression and negative emotions, perhaps because they can cope better with upsetting or stressful situations. They also rate themselves as more mindful and feel more gratitude, more connection to mankind…’
  2. Patient People are better friends and neighbours: ‘…In relationships with others, patience becomes a form of kindness. Think of the best friend who comforts you night after night over the heartache that just won’t go away, or the grandchild who smiles through the story she has heard her grandfather tell countless times. Indeed, research suggests that patient people tend to be more cooperative, more empathic, more equitable, and more forgiving. “Patience involves emphatically assuming some personal discomfort to alleviate the suffering of those around us,” write Debra R. Comer and Leslie E. Sekerka in their 2014 study.
  3. Patience helps us achieve our goals: ‘…The road to achievement is a long one, and those without patience—who want to see results immediately—may not be willing to walk it. Think of the recent critiques of millennials for being unwilling to “pay their dues” in an entry-level job, jumping from position to position rather than growing and learning.

In her 2012 study, Schnitker also examined whether patience helps students get things done. In five surveys they completed over the course of a semester, patient people of all stripes reported exerting more effort toward their goals than other people did. Those with interpersonal patience in particular made more progress toward their goals and were more satisfied when they achieved them (particularly if those goals were difficult) compared with less patient people.

  • Patience is linked to good health: ‘The study of patience is still new, but there’s some emerging evidence that it might even be good for our health. In their 2007 study, Schnitker and Emmons found that patient people were less likely to report health problems like headaches, acne flair-ups, ulcers, diarrhea, and pneumonia. Other research has found that people who exhibit impatience and irritability—a characteristic of the Type A personality—tend to have more health complaints and worse sleep. If patience can reduce our daily stress, it’s reasonable to speculate that it could also protect us against stress’s damaging health effects.’

Finally, the site lists three ways to cultivate patience, which are:

  1. Reframe the situation.
  2. Practice mindfulness.
  3. Practice gratitude.

As you can see having patience is vital in any situation. It’s important to maintain a good level of positive self-awareness. Whenever the mind throws up impatience, it’s the individual’s job to take responsibility for the way they see the situation. In everything, there’s always a positive or negative choice. It’s about training the mind to be in control. Here at James Dooley Hypnotherapy, we can offer that solution.
