If you want to be more patient, keep reading this article because I’ll share with you the most powerful patience affirmations and most importantly I’ll tell you how to use and how to create your own affirmations.
For the purpose of this article, it’s important to remind you the 3 characteristics that make a thought extremely powerful and capable of governing our days.
Repetition. Certain negative thoughts take root in our mind because we have repeated them hundreds of times in our life. This means that in order for our positive affirmations to also become effective, we will have to repeat them constantly (more details on this point later).
Credibility. Our negative beliefs affect us because they are… plausible. In other words, we believe it because in the past we have had life experiences that have confirmed certain thoughts. To ensure that our patience affirmations also work, we cannot therefore shoot “magic” phrases far into the air, we must build affirmations that are based on real facts, or in any case on experiences from our past in which we have had winning attitudes.
Emotion. Finally, certain negative affirmations work because they are almost always accompanied by equally powerful negative emotions. The same principle must therefore be applied to our positive affirmations: in order for them to work, we cannot repeat them mechanically, but we must recite them trying to leverage emotions that are consistent with what we are repeating to ourselves.
Please, use the following affirmations wisely: take inspiration from these phrases and adapt them to your reality so that you can take advantage of them. Do not select statements that are completely contrary to your current situation. Initially, select no more than 5-7 statements to focus on. At the end of the article, I will provide you with further information on how to best use the following patience affirmations (when, how many times, etc.) and how to create your own.

Although it may appear simple, exercising patience is a legitimate approach to develop patience. After all, how do you get better at playing the piano? Or how about a perfectly poached egg? It’s all about practice, practice, practice. Everyday life will undoubtedly provide sufficient opportunity to learn patience, but if you like to focus and control your practice, try reading a tough classic, such as “War and Peace”, or completing a huge jigsaw puzzle or a Sudoku book. These jobs necessitate patience because they compel you to wait and urge you to let go of expectations, both of which are essential components of becoming more patient.
1. Identify Your Priorities
The following guidelines work for any affirmations you might want to go for. First of all, what are the areas of your life where you really feel the need to make a change? Would you like to feel more powerful? Or maybe in the future you might want to change other aspects of your life… like for example, do you feel you need to improve your relationship with your partner? Do you want to take care of your health? Try to focus your personalized positive affirmations on a specific area of your life that you would like to improve.
2. Excitement
As seen, the statements are most effective when accompanied by a strong emotional drive. Therefore, carefully evaluate the choice of words and expressions, preferring those that may have the highest emotional impact for you. Amongst the patience affirmations I shared with you above, I’m sure you can find some affirmations that match with your current emotional state.
3. Be Consistent and Realistic
It is important that your statements align with your personal values. If respect and honesty are essential for you, it is useless to repeat to you “I am a salesperson willing to do anything to achieve my financial goals”. Second, it is important that your statements are realistic and translatable into concrete action. If the statements are too vague or too far from your reality, you will run the risk of not believing in them yourself. For example, “I feel healthy” may be too general a statement for you. You could make it more specific by turning it into: “I feel in a great mood and full of energy”; “My body is strong, ‘flexible and resistant’; “I run every morning and this gives me energy”; “I feed with balance” and so on.
4. Transform Negative Into Positive
Unfortunately our internal dialogue is often negative. But these negative thoughts and beliefs can be a great way to spot our personalized positive affirmations. In fact, you can start from these intrusive and disempowering thoughts and transform them into their positive version. “You’re the usual indecisive” can become: “I choose carefully and make good decisions”. or “I decide with timing for my life”.
5. Present
Our mind is not designed for the future. Always write your affirmations in the present tense, as if everything is already happening. This is essential for your mind to believe, on an unconscious level, in the statement and “settle” on that new parameter. If you write instead: “I will make very good decisions”. Your mind will always postpone your transformation to an unspecified future. Now let’s see how to use your personalized positive affirmations in an effective way…
When?
Choose a specific time to repeat your statements. The ideal is in the morning, upon awakening, so as to start the day on the right foot.
How?
Repeat your patience affirmations aloud and if possible create a vision board that reminds you of them throughout the day.
How Many?
As explained in the article, focus on a maximum of 5-7 positive affirmations.
How Many Times?
Repeat them for at least 5-10 minutes every day, but not more than a quarter of an hour (it wouldn’t help). If you wish, you can repeat the exercise at different times of the day, but no more than three times in a day (for example, you can repeat them in the morning when you wake up, at noon and in the evening before bed).
Good. Now that you know the most powerful patience affirmations and you have all the tools to best create your own personal affirmations, all you have to do is re-read, write them, use them and achieve all your goals!
