Thought is a human capacity that helps you live better when you learn not to let yourself be carried one hundred percent by your impulses. That is, when you stop and take time to think about what is best for you Or simply, what do you most want to do.
In a curious way, there are situations in which perhaps, it is better not to think too much since if you did, you would never jump into action. This is what happens, for example, when you fall in love. You can consider so many options in your mind in relation to rejection or failure as well, that these ideas demotivate you when it comes to taking the step of declaring your love.
Thinking is positive because it helps you live in a more conscious way. But especially, it is good to learn to think before you speak. The truth is that throughout the day we get to pronounce so many words, we have so many dialogues and conversations that it is impossible for us to quantify them.
In fact, nowadays we not only express ourselves verbally and directly in a face-to-face way, but we also do so through the phone, email, text message or letter.
Thinking before speaking makes you more aware of the value of words. The reality is that a bad word said at the wrong time can hurt the other person a lot. On the other hand, if you learn to promote positive caresses, that is, praise or words of affection You will see how the level and quality of your interpersonal relationships also improve.
You should make a greater effort to think before speaking in a moment of anger where many times you say things that you do not really feel moved by mere spite or resentment. Count to ten or twenty if necessary before saying a word.
