My own progress. I expect results immediately. If they don't arrive, I'll pause and restart the cycle in six months. The most exhausting loop I keep choosing. Patience with yourself turns out to be the hardest kind, nobody warns you about that specifically.

Small children. My great nephews are 3 and 1.
For context I am 53 I have had 4 children of my own they are all grown and 3 of them have families of their own.
I would like to preface this by saying I love children I truly do I have found though that I do not have the patience I did in my 20's . I still play with them and read to them and I help out where I can by changing diapers making a meal or anything that my niece and her husband need help with. I have found I have way less patience when dealing with them for more than 2 or 3 hours. I am truly working on it though because I love them and would like to spend a longer span of time with them. I honestly feel bad that I didn't realize I had less patience than I did in my 20's. It has nothing to do with who they are as individuals and everything to do with just me.
