Keeping Quiet

Keeping your mouth shut can be a valuable tool in achieving success, especially when it’s essential to be discreet or keep your plans under wraps. So here are some tips to help you stay quiet and never let your competition know what you’re doing.

  1. Control your emotions: Emotional outbursts can lead to impulsive actions, often resulting in saying things you regret later. To avoid this, it’s essential to remain calm and level-headed, even in high-pressure situations. Take deep breaths, count to ten, or find a way to release your emotions privately.
  2. Practice active listening: In conversation, pay attention to what others say instead of thinking about what you will say next. By focusing on what others say, you can avoid interrupting or blurting out information that could compromise your goals.
  3. Keep your goals in mind: When you have a clear idea of what you want to achieve, it’s easier to keep your mouth shut. Remind yourself of your goals and focus on what you need to do to reach them rather than getting caught up in unproductive conversations or gossip.
  4. Seek wise counsel: Surround yourself with people you trust and who have your best interests in mind; if you’re tempted to say something that could hurt your chances of success, seek the advice of someone you trust and respect. They can help you stay on track and keep your mouth shut.
  5. Choose your words carefully: When you do speak, choose your words wisely. Think before you speak and avoid saying anything that could be misinterpreted or used against you.

For this, to work, you have to both agree to NOT talk about your fight. This is a total cease-fire of all ugliness! Each must come with an open heart. 

  1. Make a time where you can sit down totally uninterrupted. No alcohol, no wine, just coffee or a soda. The two of you ONLY. Kids need to-go-to grandmas.
  2. Each of you agrees with no curse words.
  3. Rock, paper, scissors to see who talks first. Best two out of three if needed.

So what is the conversation going to be?

Give this some thought before you sit down. Assuming you are agreed.

Pick something about your life that your partner does not really know about you. The story can be about anything except for a topic that Segways into your argument. 

The whole point of this is to talk about something that allows the two of you to communicate! Each takes a turn in telling a story, having a conversation that is merely the two of you talking.

If you’ve completed this, we have one more exercise.

What made you fall in love with each other? Have a conversation about what makes you happy together.

If you can do these two things then perhaps what you’re arguing about is not that big a deal. Sometimes, we just need to talk civilly and then remember why we love one another.
