Take Some Deep Breaths

I find that when I feel hurt, upset, or angry that the worst things come out of my mouth. Then I'm irritated at myself for saying those things when I was in a negative place. Today, if hurt or angry I will keep my mouth shut. I will practice deep breaths. I'll take a walk. I'll watch a sitcom, work in my garden or something else that brings me inner peace. I'm practicing not responding with angry words.
