Sarah Schnitker, patience researcher and associate professor of psychology and neuroscience at Baylor University, says being impatience isn't a bad thing but people who are chronically frustrated can experience more stress. She says some people are naturally more patient than others but also says, "we're not doomed to whatever kind of natural patience we have." Here are a few of her ideas on how to increase your patience level. This can help you pause in the moment to think rather than act, which can help you build patience over time. Those who have higher levels of patience often have the tendency to have more empathy.
