We all know that children need to learn the simple things of
daily life – how to tie their shoes, how to make their bed, how to set the
table or fill the dishwasher. They need to learn to bake cookies and cook a
meal. And that’s just the beginning.
Unfortunately, some parents’ impatience denies children this
education.
Parents find it easier to do it themselves than to teach the
child, so they grow into adolescence and
Parents who exhibit this behavior are Impatiens
personalities living in the negative state. They’re quick-thinking people who
prefer to work alone because they can’t stand waiting for less able co-workers
to get things done. They really can’t comprehend why others can’t follow their
fast train of thought.
Doctor Bach’s flower essence Impatiens can bring them back
into the positive state – where they still have active minds, but have some
empathy and patience for those who move at a slower pace. They will still
prefer to work alone, however and are far better off in non-managerial
positions.
But what about daily life – we all become impatient now and
then.
If you work on a computer and are not “technically gifted,”
you know the impatience of waiting for someone else to come and take care of
those technical issues so you can get on with your work.
If you’ve ever made a phone call to a company with sixteen
buttons to push before you’re put on hold, you know how it makes you want to
scream with impatience.
If you commute to work and have to sit in traffic jams for
an hour or so of your day, you become understandably impatient.
Impatiens can help those situations as well. It won’t make
things go faster, but it will give you the patience to tolerate the wait
without raising your blood pressure. Instead, you’ll calm down and think of
useful ways to use that time.
