In this brief segment of the YouTube video “How to Not Lose Your Patience,” trial attorney Jefferson Fisher shares a personal strategy for maintaining composure during heated arguments. He explains that impatience manifests as a bodily urge to escape the situation, which is counterproductive. His method involves three steps: (1) deliberately slowing down, (2) taking a deep breath, and (3) using present‑focused self‑talk such as “You are exactly where you need to be” to re‑anchor attention. By consciously pulling himself into the present moment, Fisher reports that he can stay patient and engaged. He invites viewers to try the technique and follow his guidance on argumentation and communication.

How to not lose your patience in your next argument. My name is Jefferson Fisher. I'm a trial attorney, and I teach people how to argue and communicate. Sometimes in an argument or conversation, I just lose my patience. When that happens, my body is resisting my current environment. It's telling me, "I want out. I want to be anywhere else but where I am right now." And that's not helpful. So what I do is I slow down, all right? I take a breath, and I try to think thoughts that put me in the present, to be mindful. And I'll say things to myself like, There is something for you here if you will just show up. You're exactly where you need to be. You are needed in this moment. And when I think those thoughts, I kind of pull myself into the present, and it helps me not lose my patience. So try that and follow me.
