Mindfulness Check in- Nov 23
Hello Mindfulness Community Friends!
I hope you are doing well. 
Do not expect immediate results!
It is natural to get trapped in expecting immediate results. As we are in the skyrocketing world, we like things to happen in the same way. We want that as soon as we make a decision, take action. It brings us immediate results as well.
But, it is not possible. Everything has a process and it takes a while to reach there. Even a clock's hand takes 12 hours to strike again at 12.
So if you experiencing a change, a struggle, concern or anything in the between, it going to take a while to address them. And in the process, you need to be adaptable and determined. Because changes are non-linear. It takes a lot of ups and downs before settling down.
Try to remind yourself next time when you experience a change- Result wouldn't be immediate. Have patience! Patience is a virtue!

@ASilentObserver
Thanks Obs for this check in. I kinda can see this be on both sides of a coin. Yes sometimes we need to have patience as things change and we can see it. Then time to adjust.
Now on the other side of the coin is...enough is enough the wait is now turning into "we need to see action" On this side pateince was given over and over. To much talk has been going on. Now ACTION needs to be done.
To me this is being open minded plus being honest on having patience as well as reality
@RumpleSteeleSkin Yes, I agree with you!
I'm so happy I saw this right now because I just got on the scale today and I know it's gonna take time and this is a great reflection of that because I'm happy and I know it's a little tiny thing but for me it's a big thing but I just lost 3 1/2 pounds on this whole weight-loss journey and I am going to stick to it and I'm gonna continue making healthy choices and I'm going to reach my goal I just wanted to share that thank you for posting this this is really reflective of what I am dealing with right now so thank you
@LPyMP Thank you so much for sharing! Good luck on your goals and congrats on your achievements thus far <3
@LPyMP CONGRATULATIONS on your weight loss! Let's celebrate those small victories! I hope you are proud of yourself and keep going. You can do this!
Oh my God, do I agree with Rumpel? Patience is a virtue but when is that time too long before action should be taken. I am not trying to be controversial about this but my husband uses that phrase as a scapegoat to not do stuff and says I have no patience that I have waited years for him to do, Then I wind up doing the job, Kind of a sore spot for me.
Sorry I know this is not the response you wanted, no harm intended to you
@scarletPear1945 You are allowed to speak your mind! We all have different ways of seeing things so thank you for sharing what you did. I hope you are having a beautiful day!
@ASilentObserver thanks for the reminder. I am not naturally patient but as I get more mindful, I see the impatient thoughts rising up and can train myself by practice to disregard them. Then I get less people upset and I am calmer.
@soulsings That is so great! I am really glad mindfulness helps you! It helps me too.
@ASilentObserver Good morning and thank you for the post! You are ver inspiring to me!
@ASilentObserver
Thanks for the post. Patience is not my strength but I am working on it. It's good to get reminders, so thank you.
@amiablePeace77 I am not very patient either so I like getting reminders too!
Yes. It is taking me more than 8 years to find a life partner and more than 4 years to find an apartment here in Miami. Perhaps it's time to leave, stop being patient. Nothing about my life is conventional, no matter how many real estate agents try to put me in their boxes and force conventionality upcon them. I'm looking in other paths, creating other types of non-traditional opportunities for finding a place to live, and hopefully, soon a partner too! Maybe it's time to leave to have positive results more quickly. Hard to know. I'm definitely patient.
@onwardforevenmore Hi non traditional rentals can save money. I know someone who rents a renovated garage in someones house because the apartment rents are too much for her.
@onwardforevenmore That is great that you are patient and you have a positive attitude!
@ASilentObserver Thanks for this reminder about patience.
@ASilentObserver This is a good reminder. It makes me think of my work with my therapist. When I first met her I went through all things I need help with, and she said it would take a while to get through everything lol. I'm still working on figuring out boundaries with my toxic dad, so that is ongoing as well. Grief is also something that takes patience, moving through it is not easy but does take time and work.
@fearlessWriter78 I am sorry to hear about your toxic dad. My mom is toxic so my heart goes out to you! It's really great that you practice mindfulness! I hope you are having a beautiful day!
@lavenderpeach1107 Hi there! Thank you for your kind response. I actually wrote more about my difficulties with my dad and his family in a thread I created here. As you have also experienced a toxic parent, feel free to comment and let me know what you think of my story. I'd love to hear from you :)
I am working on myself but have been for a while and yet I am so far from where I need to be. I think I ran my patience away.
@scarletPear1945 I've been working on myself for a long time too... It's hard to say the least.
@lavenderpeach1107
I am glad that I am not alone in this
@scarletPear1945 No, You are not alone because I am here with you! I hope you are having a beautiful day!
