If you haven't checked out that chapter, go read it. It's fu--very disturbing. O_o
Now you're probably wondering why I just dashed that swear word. Well, for school, I'm taking on a self-change behavior project that (over a six week period) I must change the behavior I picked to a goal that I have to set.
Guess what I picked?
Swearing.
I'm already doing my first day of baseline, and I've already sworn 26 times in four hours.
I so need an intervention...
-Soaring
here's easier thing. get a jar and put 5 dollars in there each time you swear.

I'm actually thinking about doing a swear jar type deal, but I also have a back-up intervention where I rub my mouth out with soap.
Old school interventions work so well. :D
3452430 So what's bad with swearing anyway? they are just words, and words don't kill people or hurt them.

I see the reasons for doing it are:
1. My profession. I don't want to be a high school teacher who has a potty mouth. I'd rather be more calm, collective, and not using curse words to state my points, or when I'm reinforcing or reprimanding a student.
2. My family life. I don't want my parents to think I need a censor following me wherever I go.
3. My professionalism. Even if it wasn't for my profession, any job does not take it well when your employee has ways with words that make customers raise a brow.
It's that bad, Mistress.
>_<
3452463 And? i always swear, insult and make sarcastic comebacks in my head because it's more fun that way (meanwhile, i keep passive, bored look on my face while i insult people and wish something bad happened to them in my head)
See? more fun and no-one gets hurt or insulted.

Keyword: in my head. I'm the type of guy who physically and mentally cannot do that. I am one of those people who do internal dialogue (private speech) way more than they should. With that in mind, all the swears I think of will be said if they make sense of course. You know, everyone hears me say cusses and judges me for it. I'd like to be one that doesn't use swears and develop myself more as a calm, collective and out-going guy without having to throw them around every so often. If I really am angry, then of course I'll have a swear. But any other time... eh, I think I want to stop the line there. It's just a decision I am choosing to make and I think I like it. It'll benefit me in the future.

Ha, right on!
3453111 So anyway, instead of swearing or insulting someone, just smile and change subject or ignore the need to swear/insult and keep talking after carefully thinking everything you're going to say.... or just let your mouth and hands make your speech for you and then few seconds later realize what you just said/wrote.
Anyway, I recommend you just smile and nod instead of swearing and/or insulting, because it's so much more fun to imagine the ways you could torture the person in front of you while you laugh like maniac and that sadistic smile on your face.....
...oh yeah, forget that last bit.
The idea of you walking around with a censor behind you is hilarious, but, whatever.
Have fun with your little project.

Swore six times already this morning for spilling little drops of coffee on the stairs.
