How can you learn patience?

I would really like to get serious about my drawings and I know a major thing that’s holding me back is my inability to be patient. Any advice?

Answer #1

Meditation can help you learn patience as you sit and do nothing for an extended period of time. If that fails then well, you may just be A.D.D. but never fear you can be heavily medicated to help with that.

Answer #2

Patience is something that I feel cannot be learn, it has to be processed. It needs great valor to posses this great quality. Patience needs to be built from within, it would be like sowing seeds and helping it grow by understanding its importance. So believe that you are patient and you would surely attain patience.

Answer #3

Taking care of babies helps improve patience for sure well, it did for me. I had to take care of my baby cousin for 6 months that required a hell lot of patience feeding him making him sleep etc.. I think the whole experience made me a more patient man. This is to improve patience i kinda agree with Austin’s comment about learning patience though.

Answer #4

You work with what you’ve got. If you can only sit at your drawings for 10 minutes at a time. Then only sit with your drawings 10 minutes at a time. Then go take a quick two minute break and then come back to your drawings. I find that trying to force yourself to do something after a certain amount of time is beyond pointless. You’re no longer focusing and you’re counting down the time till you can get up and get moving. Art is something you’re supposed to enjoy. So when it’s no longer drawn you in and you’re no longer enjoying it, get up and so something else.

Answer #5

Did you seriously just tell someone that they have a mental disorder if they cannot sit for extended periods of time doing nothing? And that they should be medicated in that case? I am pretty sure you are neither a doctor nor a psychologist. I’d stay out of areas that you have less than no clue about. A.D.D does not exist any more as a diagnosis. A.D.H.D. symptoms have to be seen in a chid less than SEVEN in order for it be diagnosed. Pretty sure she’s over the age of seven.
