      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.

    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.

    • @susanswinny588
      @susanswinny588 3 месяца назад +3

      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.

    When I put on a face mask, it tends to hold back my speech, somewhat.
    Perhaps, wearing a mask, can help us to practice saying less, and listening more. thanks much
