Sometimes when my middle child is feeling impatient, she’ll tell me she doesn’t like to wait. So I tell her to stop.
She’ll look confused for a moment, because (of course), how can she “stop waiting” for something to happen that’s beyond her control?
But “waiting” is an activity. You might not be able to make the event happen any faster, but you can do lots of things besides “wait.” Go outside. Paint a picture. Build a house.
What are you waiting for?
