If the stakes are high enough and the duration you need to keep it together is short enough, can you control your response? Because if we can do it then, we can learn to do it now. Acknowledging that it’s a choice is difficult, because choices come with responsibility. “I’m not a patient person” is not the same as “Being patient requires a lot of work for me.” Attitudes are skills. Like all skills, they take practice, preparation and effort.
