Ways to tame your tongue

in #life5 years ago
Sometimes in life, wrong words tend to slip out of our mouth for certain reasons and we begin to feel resentful afterwards. Just like a tube of toothpaste, the moment you press out the paste, you won't be able to put it back into the tube. In order to avoid words slipping out of your mouth, lets consider some reasons why it happens.

One of the major reason why words slips out of people's mouth is because they don't think before speaking. Thinking before speaking is very necessary if you want to keep a good relationship with people. People who don't think before they speak are known for uttering rubbish and offending the people around them. Before you speak, think of how what you will be saying is going to affect the people around you, how they are going to feel and react to what you say.

When you don't listen properly to what is being said, there is more chances of you uttering rubbish. In every relationship, listening is a great tool when being communicated to. If you don't listen carefully, then you might not be able to discern the message that is being passed across.

Another reason why word slips out of people's mouth is because they respond back to people when angry. When angry, we tend to loose control of ourselves. We tend to do and say things that will leave us with the feeling of resent when we are calm. For this reason, it is advisable to walk out of hot argument when we are angry before words slips out of our mouth.

To put and end to this, when we offend others by not being able to tame our tongue, we should try as much as we can to apologize to them.
