Sometimes mate, like a song, “helps us to build and live”. However, every educated person will agree that such speech is a bad habit. Women, men and children alike can easily master it, but getting rid of it will not be so easy. In this article, we will share effective ways to wean yourself from using foul language.
Instructions
Step 1
The first step is to accept the problem. If you clearly realize that cursing is ugly and bad, it's time to start re-educating yourself. Ask your friends for help, share your thoughts. Perhaps one of them has the same problem and together it will be more interesting and faster to get rid of it. Or friends can remind and correct you during conversation, when you again, will automatically use "curly" words.
Step 2
Every problem is known to have a cause. Checkmate is no exception. Try to understand what provokes you to swear like this. Perhaps it is traffic jams, queues in stores, computer games, etc. Of course, you cannot completely avoid stressful situations, but you can reduce their number and try to react less harshly to everything. The Japanese, for example, throw out negativity through martial arts or elementary physical activity. Why not take advantage of this? Double benefit: both for the figure and for the culture of communication.
Step 3
If simple self-hypnosis and sports do not give results, psychologists advise to switch to economic rails. Get yourself a big piggy bank and replenish it with 10 rubles for every swear word you utter. As the piggy bank is full, give the money to people in need. This will be a kind of punishment, or, if you like, payback for the checkmate.
Step 4
Cheaper but equally effective methods can be used. For example, wear a thin elastic band on your arm. Use it to spank your wrist the next time you swear. And if you forget, ask your family or friends about it. Gradually, your brain will develop a clear connection between pain and obscenity. And the number of swear words will begin to noticeably thin out in your everyday speech.
Step 5
And finally, in order to firmly realize that mate is bad, study it. Yes Yes! Approach the problem scientifically. Swearing slang is part of Russian speech. But where did it come from? Some scholars believe that such words were used even in Vedic spells for infertility of a person. It may be true. It's not for nothing that most of the swear words are associated with the reproductive organs. Specialists from the British University have found that obscenity, in any language, has a negative effect on a person, on who pronounces it and who hears it often. Therefore, another sure way to disaccustom yourself to swearing is to cleanse your personal space. Read newspapers, books, magazines, news on the Internet, where mats are not used. Listen to pleasant, "censored" music, watch good, kind films. Train yourself, your children and loved ones to the culture of speech.
