We all say stupid things sometimes. It's part of being human. But writing stupid things can be all that much worse... writing can seem so - permanent.
I'd like to think my tact is improving... but especially when I'm sleep deprived and hormonal, the filter doesn't work so well.
I'm so thankful for kindhearted and forgiving friends. If I could think of a way to turn it into a more tangible goal, I'd say I want to work on improving my tact this year. To be more thoughtful when it comes to how I treat others, and what I say about them. Especially when I'm sleep deprived and hormonal.
How would you turn something like that into an actual, achievable goal?

You could try to make sure a certain number of times this year you will stop before saying something (or erase it before posting/sending). Then it's reach able instead of trying to do it every time and then failing when you don't succeed. Just a thought. I'm working on the same goal. ;-)
You could maybe do likes I've heard kids do to get themselves to stop swearing..... wear a rubber band on your wrist - when you catch yourself slippig, flick it. Actual physical reminder to get the mind and body to both be aware. It'll help you focus better.... kinda like the Pavlov's dog training stuff.
