That you were just so upset or angry that the words came out before you even knew it? One of the best talents we can develop is to “bite our tongues” so we allow the initial 90 seconds for the stress chemicals to dissipate. What if we could just keep quiet for 90 seconds? It seems so easy. Like nothing….until you actually see how long 90 seconds seems. How about this for practice- grab a timer or use your phone. Go into the bathroom or anywhere you have a mirror. Try to think of something that gets your dander up. If you can’t get worked up, that’s ok. Try this anyway. Set the timer for 90 seconds. Now stare at yourself and silently repeat a phrase that will help you such as “say nothing for 90 seconds”, “I can hold it”, “it’s only 90 seconds”. What you are practicing is to feel how long those 90 seconds are. It also may help you feel as if you can actually control yourself and that’s the goal. If you can also laugh about it, that will help change your mood as well. Try it!!
