Patience is different. It’s not about how long you wait — it’s about how you wait.
Patience is rooted in trust + presence. It comes from a regulated parasympathetic state.
- Slow, full breaths → vagus nerve activation
- Stable blood sugar → calm mood and clear thought
- Elevated serotonin/oxytocin → improved social bonding
- Higher HRV → better adaptability and recovery
Patience builds your system. Tolerance burns it down.
