My mom pounded this home to me since I was little the whole 'don't let the sun go down on your wrath' and 'each good-bye may be the last so make those last words count' and 'you can't take it back once its said'. It was further reinforced for my certification to be a family worker. I learned in my training for my job about deep breaths which I use a lot. <br />When we are angry, scared, etc, our body responds into fight/flight/protect mode which includes more pumping of the heart and less oxygen to brain so that we're going on adrenalin and instinct which are quicker to address what our body sees as potential danger. The deep breath or two or three gets that oxygen back up there so that higher thinking is restored and we are not relying on instinct. I've taught lots of parenting classes and I teach the 'stop! Take a Deep Breath! Relax! Then respond to your child' and this holds true with any people relations. <br />Definitely keeps from me saying and doing more stupid stuff than I already do. ;)Sophia Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07909417504496472472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9048008773247914458.post-12399330165543901572015-01-29T13:20:47.411-05:002015-01-29T13:20:47.411-05:00You are totally right, and I definitely don't ...You are totally right, and I definitely don't think before I speak often enough.
