yep, I def need to shut up more often

Me too! I'm learning to be more quiet!! Apparently whenever I speak I say something off the wall, or something that hurts feeling. The thing about it I'm the kindest person in the world, I would give the shirt off my back if I could. I'm really working on this.

I have always had a hard time not oversharing. It has affected my work situations, mostly. I've been trying really hard lately not to talk. I even switched jobs to be able to start fresh and keep my life more private. It's hard because I have always been too trusting of others. I don't really think before I speak, and it's gotten me into really awkward situations. Thank you for this.

I know I have always found myself in similar situations, and people won't take me seriously or respect me. To a new start, cheers 🥂

After James Nestor's book Breath came out, I tried his suggestion to tape my lips together to force myself to breathe through my nose for health reasons. Over a week off from work, I taped my lips together most of the time. It was so therapeutic. My energy, compassion, and inner peace increased. My impulsivity and ego decreased. Similar to meditation. I recommend it to the curious.

@EC-yd9yv 3 ай бұрын

It would probably take tape to keep my mouth shut too😂 much discipline n self control for sure. A must.

@susanswinny588 3 ай бұрын

3M Nexcare paper tape 1-inch wide tape. I tear off an inch of tape (1 inch square) and place over the center of my closed mouth. It will come off easily when you're ready. You'll be able to breathe through your mouth but it's there as a reminder, not to clamp the mouth shut.
