Do you hate waiting for things? I’m referring to things like a job offer, a promotion, moving house or going on holiday. Or maybe it’s the smaller things that really try your patience like waiting for a bus, waiting in the traffic or waiting at the dentists. Is there a difference in your patience? Do you have more patience for bigger events and less for the mundane things? Or is it the other way around?
What things do you do whilst you have to wait? What emotions are present when you are waiting? Frustration, anger, fear, guilt? Make a note of your feelings around these issues so that you can compare with how you feel after you have done some tapping on the issue.
So, as usual, write down your score on a scale of 0 -10 (where 10 is maximum impatience).
Tap on the Karate Chop whilst repeating three times:
- Even though I hate waiting for things, I’m willing to accept myself anyway
- Even though I get so frustrated and angry when I’m waiting, I’m open to accepting myself anyway
- Even though I have no patience, I accept how I feel anyway

Use your words where appropriate to really tune in to how you feel. Keep tapping until you no longer feel so impatient. I’d love to hear your feedback, so please leave a comment.
Keep tapping!
