Patience

(P)raying instead of pushing forward something (A)ltering routine slightly with a slower pace (T)aking deep breaths with time to focus (I)nitiating new things to stimulate the mind (E)ntertaining fun things to wind down (N)ever acting impulsively but thoughtfully (C)ensoring thoughts with release of worry (E)ngaging faith with purpose for what will be Heidi Sands

Excellent Heidi. This totally defines having patience. Just slow down, take deep breaths, calm yourself and THINK. On a scale of 1 to 7 this is a 10. God Bless, JB
