How much do you curse? I do a fair amount of it. It's almost like a disease with a trickle down effect. Once you hear someone do it, you catch yourself feeling the permission to do the same.
And it's not just curse words that will do you in. It's negativity and gossip. When you roll all of that into a conversation, do you leave feeling better or more at peace? Probably not.
I went on a swearing and positivity diet last year for about a month, during Lent. It was hard at first, but it started to make me feel physically more content. I was less prone to outbursts, gossip, negativity. I challenge you to try it for one day and see what happens.
