You went from completely fine to completely furious in about four seconds, over something that did not matter at all. Then came the look on their face, and the question that follows you for hours. What is wrong with me?

In this episode, I'm going to explain why trying so hard to be more patient is actually backfiring, and what really needs to happen first before patience comes back on its own.

❓ QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Why do I snap over small things now when I never used to?
Your nervous system baseline has likely shifted up to an 8 or 9 out of 10, so even small stressors push you past your limit. It is not a personality change, it is a capacity problem.

Why does willpower and counting to ten not work anymore?
Those tools rely on your prefrontal cortex, which goes offline when your nervous system senses ongoing danger. You cannot think your way through a pause that your brain has already shut off.

Why do I lose my temper at home but hold it together at work?
Home is usually the one place your guard finally drops after a full day of managing yourself elsewhere. It is not that you love them less, it is that you have nothing left by the time you get there.
