Richa is a 'super patient' mom! Find out how!

We’ve all heard the saying, ‘Patience bears sweet fruits’. But I only understood the real meaning of patience when I became a mommy myself. Before that I was impatient, but my whole life changed and the only way I could handle the changes was by being patient. Here’s why I think being patient is crucial, especially if you’re a new mommy.

1. Whatever has to happen will happen: Ok, so there are certain situations you have no control over. Your toddler spilled her milk—there’s nothing you can do about the spilt milk, but you can definitely control your actions and reactions. Losing control and shouting at your toddler will neither help them nor is it good for your health. So let go and try to make a joke of it.

2. Keep calm and enjoy motherhood: I get angry at my daughter, irritated even. But once the storm dies, I feel guilty and regretful; but the damage has been done by then. Remember, your toddler also has feelings and may get miffed at you.

3. Faith keeps you going: There’s no better solution to any problem then being patient. When you’re patient and calm, you can think and plan better. Like I said earlier, don’t fret about things that are out of your control. If there’s a problem at office or at home, don’t make your child the scapegoat. Have patience and faith and things will work out sooner rather than later.

4. Patience lets you enjoy your baby: Time will not remain the same forever; your baby will soon grow up. So just let go of your impatience at a messy kitchen table, or dirty linen and enjoy your baby. Besides, it’s better to have a messy home rather than a messy child growing into a messy adult isn’t it?
