Simple Ways To Become More Patient

Author Rob Tanner

Being patient is an important trait that is great for everyone to have. If boring situations like waiting in line annoy you then GoodNets patience tips might be a gamechanger for you.

Be mindful

Mindfulness helps you to become more aware of the present. This can help by preventing you from stressing out about future events. If you begin stressing out about future events or chores while doing things like waiting at the doctor’s office it’s a good idea to  focus on the current moment instead.

Accept things you can’t control

Sometimes there are things that are out of your control like traffic or long grocery lines. You must realize that there’s nothing you can do about these types of things and instead focus on the things you can control. This can be done by creating goals about the things that you can change like your diet or workout routine. When you are in a situation that you have no control over it can help to find something that’ll make the event less stressful, like listening to music while stuck in traffic.

Listen to others 

If you listen to what people are telling you instead of thinking about your response ahead of time you can stay in the moment and enjoy the conversation more. It’s a good habit to put your phone or any other distraction away and actually focus on the person that you’re talking to. This will help train your brain to be more patient and caring.

‘Mental Health During The Pandemic Was Minimal’: Twitter Reacts

The COVID-19 pandemic has had major social and economic impacts. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), mental health has been widely affected. “Plenty of us became more anxious; but for some COVID-19 has sparked or amplified much more serious mental health problems,” said WHO. “A great number of people have reported psychological distress and symptoms of depression, anxiety or post-traumatic stress.”

Recently, the BBC reported on a study that said the damage to people’s mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic was “minimal.” Of course, people took to Twitter to share their true thoughts on the study BBC reported.

The study was done by Canadian researchers from institutions including the McGill, Ottawa, and Toronto universities, and published on March 8 in The BMJ. A peer-reviewed medical journal. This study found that “changes in general mental health, anxiety symptoms, and depression symptoms,” due to the pandemic have been “minimal to small.”

Twitter reacts to “damage to people’s mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic was ‘minimal.'”

After the BBC shared its report on the study on Twitter, their account was flooded with responses from people who disagreed with the study’s conclusion. A lot of the tweets had examples of what people did during the pandemic that would debunk the study. It was noted along with the tweet that the review “was lacking in data for many vulnerable groups, and that the findings in it can’t necessarily be applied to everyone.” The tweet has more than 122.6 million views and over 47.8 thousand quote responses.

One user quoted the tweet saying, “i stayed up for 40 hours straight bc i thought 1d was getting back together on july 23rd 2020.” Another Twitter user said that they “had a birthday party for the dishwasher.” Their tweet showed her and a child sitting in front of the kitchen appliance while holding a birthday cake with a zero candle.

  • This suffering is not minimal

    “‘Women felt the impact of the pandemic more because of the jobs they do and the role they play in family life.’ This suffering is not ‘minimal,'” tweeted Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis (@RevJacquiLewis).

  • I bought an orange one person tent
