PMR provides an excellent opportunity to learn patience.
PMR will not be rushed. It is on its own schedule and ridding yourself of it requires respect for its maddeningly plodding pace.
PMR will not be rushed. It is a sloth train, charging ahead with the speed of a galloping snail. You are on that train. Say, "Whoopee!"
PMR will not be rushed. If you overshoot your taper, you will be reminded.
PMR will not be rushed. Hurry it along, push that river, nothing good will come.
PMR will not be rushed. It is of you, in you, part of you, but it does not march to your orders.
PMR will not be rushed. Sit with it like you'd sit with a sick friend. Do not drag your sick friend from bed. Visit. You are your sick friend.
PMR will not be rushed. You ARE special. You ARE unique. Still, your PMR will not be hurried along.
PMR will not be rushed. Tapering is like watching paint dry.
And remember, PMR will not be rushed.
