The Daily Mess How Can We Practice Patience Plus Is It OK To Bend The Rules

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'm the kind of person that's always asking questions. I
mean the fun begins when you start researching for answers
such as how does one practice patience inside a world
that wants everything right now? Plus is it such a
good idea when someone chooses to bend the rules? My
name is Erro. I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf.
That means I stand on the sidelines and do nothing

(00:21):
but watch, listen, study, then activate. I call it the
daily Mess, a chronological walk through an everyday world. Yep,
it's my morning pages. As a receiver of thoughts and ideas,
we as people tend to throw things to the side
because we're going to deal with it later on. When
a subject arrives inside of me, I know it's time
to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal, but

(00:42):
by doing the research, the picture becomes clearer. This is
the daily Mess. How does one practice patience? I mean,
come on, we are the generation that wants everything right now,
and we've all fallen witness to the unsettled ambitions of
an emotional person that isn't getting their way. There are
multiple things that we can do to get over our

(01:02):
mindsets locked in on getting everything right now we've got
to practice patients. But how well It begins with mindfulness.
It teaches us to stay present while reducing the stress
that comes with not getting things right now. When you
feel a rise in your emotions, the goal is to
put your focus on the moment of right now without
any type of judgment. One of the things that we

(01:24):
need to work on is learning how and what to
do when we are triggered. Keeping a daily journal is
a beautiful gift to yourself. I call it leaving breadcrumbs.
You're measuring your growth as well as your stumbles. Practicing
empathy is another great way toward practicing patients. Understanding what
others are feeling gives you a greater view of all

(01:46):
things around you. One great lesson to learn from is
to find small things to practice your patients, such as
getting stuck in traffic or sitting at the doctor's office
where you know they're always running late. Remember, patience is
a virtue. Hey, coming up next. We hear it all
the time. Let's bend the rules. Is that really such

(02:09):
a good idea? Hey, thanks for coming back to the
daily mess. We hear it all the time. Let's bend
the rules. Really you want to bend the rules. Is
that such a good idea? Here's what the experts say.
It's not advisable. The only time it should be accepted
is if it achieves a positive outcome without causing harm.
I still don't jump on that. I mean, look at

(02:31):
NFL reps. They don't bin the rules during the four
quarters of play, or do they. Gordon Ramsay doesn't hold
back if the top chef beins the recipe rules. The
people up on top remind us that rules are in
forced for many reasons, including safety and legality. What are
the intentions as to why we want to bin the rules?
Will there be consequences? Bending the rules is acceptable during

(02:55):
emergency situations. Here's one for you. Look at customer service
at most businesses, they're always bending the rules. Bending the
rules is also seen as being an act of exploration
in the way of seeking an alternative approach. If your
choice is to bend the rules, there are three things
to always include. Transparency, seek approval, and always prioritize ethical

(03:19):
conduct while avoiding moments of dishonesty. I'm Merril, and that's
the daily mess
