if you're anxious, maybe patience is all you really need right now

I know uh you've heard the word patience so many times that it begins to lose meaning and you get to be annoyed by it even you know people saying just be patient you're so strong just be a little stronger but we've been patient for so long and we've been strong for so long and we're just tired of being patient and we're tired of being strong and you can be tired of being strong the time it's not like being strong gives you a a boost of energy and you feel so confident in yourself for making it through another day for getting through another season and this video is a reminder that you may have heard other people ask you tell you invite you to be patient but you haven't heard it from me so does this count a little different Axel Rose I wonder what you're rushing anyways I wonder what you're rushing you know be patient you're what are you rushing towards anyways and sometimes I get that in a meditation where you finally realize after all this time that it's all right here anyways and there's striving of course and there's goal setting of course and there's uh things you want of course and we're part of the world so you know you have you you have things that you want to accomplish in your life of course but that's not all there is and sometimes we find ourselves so pressured by uh those around us goal making and achievement whether it's possessions whether it's even relationships whether it's milestones and we think of time as this just line Just A to B and we need to get everything before we hit the end I wonder if you can just sit for a bit and practice patience because the more you practice it the more you cultivate it for yourself you want to be a more patient person don't you and you're running out of patience right now well this is the time to practice this is the time to practice I tuned this down half a step just for you because that's the way it is on uh on the album [Music] [Music] said woman take it slow it'll work itself out fine all we need is just a little patience set sugar make it slow it'll come together fine all we need is just a little patience [Music] M there's some pretty nasty science about humming and how that activates the the vegal nerve response um which is why there's so much tradition in Ms and humming and singing so just uh hum along with me for a bit and if this is really testing your patience well good job practicing [Music] M I wonder what you're impatient about I wonder because listen if I've ever given the impression that I'm some patient all- knowing person which definitely not uh I'm I apologize like this weekend we went out paddling to Island and I I didn't feel grounded all day I was waiting for some arrival looking for some place and you can ask Vanessa too it was like I was finishing up calls doing work in the morning and then had to get the paddle boards from the locker and I'm like oh my gosh and the locker put them in the car and then we got to fight traffic and I'm not even arrived yet in the car and then I'll be like okay once we get to the parking lot I'll chill get to the parking lot I got to pay for parking I thought it was free and then we get out and pump the paddle boards and oh my gosh now we got to walk to the beach walk to the beach and get to the beach and then we got to fight the waves I thought it was calm expectations of this arrival moment I was I was so not there and and when we talk about patience like I I look back and I'm like what was I really waiting for what was I striving towards what was I what moment was I really looking for was it the moment where I finally lay down in the sand and do nothing so I wonder if you look at times where you really need to give yourself some patience times where that's what you really need and you're not giving it to yourself I wonder why why aren't you giving yourself that patience where's the pressure coming from and what are you really striving towards because listen once you get the thing once you get the new job once you finally hear the news you're going to have to deal with a whole new set of circumstances anyways and the carrot is always going to be in front of you there's always going to be a new thing that you want a new platform to arrive on there's always going to be that so we go up this ladder and we finally arrive at some place and then we're like before you know it all right that's it let's go to the next one and we find the platform and we arrive the arrival doesn't have to be 50 rungs and then you get to the next one your arrival can be right now set up a platform right now to chill on just like we did with the song can you give yourself a little bit of that can you give yourself a little bit of Grace now if you're a a follower of Christ which I am uh a good friend of mine said she had an experience where uh she was going through a lot of health issues and she she had a prayer and and she had this Encounter With Jesus and he said don't worry because you know although you're not practicing patience right now and you're being very impatient I have perfect patience I have perfect patience so I wonder if you're a believer in God all knowing abundant compassionate uh is there perfect patience there you think a God is pointing a finger at you saying do more do it faster get to the arrival now practice perfect patience be patient with yourself in this season other Seasons yeah you're doing more you're doing a lot more you're getting things done maybe this one it's time to set up a platform and chill for a bit what are you rushing towards is being impatient really helping you has it really helped you achieve goals be happier be friendlier be better in relationships better at work has feeling and sensing and being part of this impatience and this constant striving and moving and this itchiness has that been helpful to you and if you can admit not always set up a platform grab a guitar and chill out a little bit real simple message today but a very very hard thing to practice and I hope when you feel that itchiness of impatience and like me on that paddle board that itchiness to arrive I arrive where I am and be here thanks for
