27. Patience: Increasing our tolerance for impatience and boredom
In this week's episode, Katie talks about the attitude of patience and how we can cultivate it in our mindfulness practice and lives.
In this episode, she talks about:
- The traditional definition of patience and her own definition.
- How we can practically cultivate patience in our meditation practice.
- Why patience is helpful in our lives.
- Examples of how cultivating patience can support our relationships.
- How patience supports our relationship with our bodies when illness and tiredness show up.
- How patience is helpful when we are learning something new.
- Natures wisdom on how things unfold in their own time.
Check out Jon Kabat Zinn's short video on the attitude of patience here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkW27a8m1mY
And also I recommend reading the chapter on the Attitudinal Foundations in Jon Kabat Zinn's book Full Catastrophe Living if you enjoyed this topic.
