I’m my mother’s daughter, which means I have a tad of a temper and I work off of emotions. My mouth gets me into trouble a lot of the time, which isn’t a good thing. My mom has given me this advice since I was in High School and it hasn’t been until recently that I’ve adopted it. The advice is to give yourself 24 hours.
When something good happens, give yourself 24 hours to celebrate. When you are mad at someone… give yourself 24 hours to cool down before you talk to them. When you need to respond to a hard text or email… give yourself 24 hours to think things through. We are emotional creators. 24 hours allows us to put our emotions aside and react using logic.
