6. How to develop patience in your career
Recognize your triggers
• The first step to developing more patience is to recognize when something is
triggering you. When you can clearly highlight a problem, a resolution may be easier
to find. When you experience strong emotions, your body reacts to them.
The 5 whys technique
• Asking yourself why five times may help you identify the cause of your irritation.
When you recognize that you're becoming frustrated with a situation, take a
moment to recover alone. Keep a list of the things that trigger you so
that you're more aware of them and can be proactive about the problem.
7. Act calm to feel calm
• One way your body responds to anger, anxiety or frustration is with physical
tension. The tension you feel can increase these feelings in your body
resulting in mounting emotions. To reverse the physical effects of
frustration, release the stress in your body. Try calming methods when you're
feeling tense.
Evaluate the situation
• Determine whether the issue testing your patience is worth the emotion it's
provoking. Remember your long-term career goals and how your emotional
responses help you reach them. When obstacles arise, look for possible
solutions
8. Take care of basic needs
• It can be difficult to focus on your higher goals when our basic needs for
safety and survival aren't being met. Things like getting enough food and
sleep are necessary for optimal brain function.
Develop a positive growth mindset
• A growth mindset is one where you believe that you can improve your
abilities through consistent work. Sometimes, you may find the solution to
your problem requires a new way of thinking or a different skill set, which
you can focus on developing with this mindset.
