How to stop swearing: useful tips

How to stop swearing? Forums on the Internet are full of advice, psychologists give recommendations and comments, articles word for word repeat the same abstruse phrases. And the people continue to use swearing in everyday life. All this is utter nonsense. Let's get it right.

Piggy bank method

A long time ago, the way to use the piggy bank became the talk of the town. It is proposed for every strong word spoken aloud to lower a coin of a certain denomination there. There is even a joke among the people about the unlucky workers of one workshop who wanted to stop swearing in this way.

Sorry, but this option will only work on really greedy people. Generous by nature comrades will be generous in both swearing and coins. It is doubtful that a person ceases to swear, regretting 5 or 10 rubles.

Conclusion: often does not work.

Pain method

Another method widely touted as a super mat treatment. It is advised to wear an elastic band on your wrist. Each time it hurts to flip herself to her if a curse pops up. Or ask a friend.

Sorry, everyone’s sensitivity is different, and a friend may not be the other at all. But what if the authorities unjustifiably offended or if a scorcher cut the road? Beat your wrist completely? So after all, many swear in pain! It turns out a double edged sword.

Conclusion: it works if a person is psychologically afraid of pain.

Vocabulary Upgrade Method

It is interesting. Did you know that the most famous swindler of his time was Pushkin? Yes, the same one. But this did not stop him from becoming a great poet. And his vocabulary was hoo!

Conclusion: the method does not work if the person is used to talking on the mat, and not to use it from time to time.

Replacement method

Everything is simple here. It is recommended to replace swear words with similar ones in sound. Or use another word altogether. How did Dontsova suggest it? Instead of an ornate three-story building, say: “Health and happiness to you!”

Such a phrase would be interesting if your little finger meets furniture at night. Or the boss will begin to report “in French”, and you give him health and happiness ... Can you imagine the expression on his face?

Well, in general, the option can be used. Especially if you know how to control yourself. After all, a "whore" always sounds more decent than "b ... q".

Conclusion: the method works. But there is one minus. You can get carried away too much, and then your speech will begin to abound with parasitic words.

Silence method

Every time you want to exhaust yourself, just close your mouth. Grit your teeth, let the air out, hit the wall with your fist, but be silent. The method is very good. But, unfortunately, it helps only those who scold from an overabundance of emotions. If for you a mat is the spaces between words, then this option will not suit you. Otherwise, you will have to close your mouth after each spoken word.

Conclusion: it works, but not at all.

Art method

Listen, why stop swearing at all? After all, you can raise swearing to the rank of art. Remember the Russian ditties, or shameful verses of the 17-18 centuries. How elegantly abusive phrases are used there. Capacious, biting, without unnecessary abundance. And what prevents you from stopping talking on the mat, only occasionally inserting a strong word?

Answer honestly? Your foolishness. Is it a shame? Still, who agrees to consider themselves as such.But let's face it. Can you write at least something like that? Not even a poem, but a ditty? If it's easy - then let me take my words back. And if not, then stop swearing like a port loader. And use abuse only to the place.

In addition, sometimes the graceful use of one dirty word makes much more impression than speech, consisting entirely of mat.

Conclusion: for a person far from art, the method is useless.

Shame method

Every swindler in life has a person in whom he is ashamed to express himself dirty. It is proposed to represent this behind your back whenever you want to swear. At the same time, it is mandatory with an expression of extreme horror on the face. Say, how are you, swearing obscenities?

In theory, a certain psychological barrier should work, and obscene expression will not be able to break the lips.

Conclusion: the method helps only people who are especially impressionable and with good imagination.

Scream method

Instead of a mat, it is proposed to shout out any vowel letter. Long and long. Will it be "a" or "y" - it does not matter. In principle, a good option. But he also acts only in certain situations. For example, by hitting a finger with a hammer, you can still wail some letter. But if abusive expressions are present in speech for a bunch of words, then replacing them with letters will not work.

Conclusion: the method works if a person curses rarely.

Exclusion method

Little children do not know how to swear. Their vocabulary is replenished with dirty words from the immediate environment. If the baby has not heard the mat ever in his life, then he will not use it in his speech. So are teens and adults. Starting to communicate with foul words, they do not notice how gradually, but surely, the mat comes into their vocabulary.

Therefore, it is recommended to exclude people who swear from the circle of their communication. Then you yourself will stop expressing yourself ugly.

This is another recommendation from today's very fashionable psychology. It is not at all true. Several of my new friends, while talking with me, did not begin to swear. Yes, and I did not stop using foul language, listening to their pure speech. We are not what parrots, repeat one after another. Imitation is typical of monkeys and crazy fans. It does not threaten adequate people.

Or, for example, a person is your best friend (girlfriend). Or maybe it's parents? Brothers, sisters? They, too, to exclude from the circle of their communication, until then, until they cease to swear? What nonsense.

Conclusion: the method does not work.

Self-control method

Perfect option. It always works 200%. I myself so stopped swearing. Absolutely. Even on emotions or pain. You just need to exclude foul language from your vocabulary. Forever and in any situation.

At first it was hard, because the habit of swearing was formed over the years. But to change any habit - just 21 days is enough not to do this.

And there is one important nuance. Some make promises to themselves, relatives, friends. Someone will promise or even swear. Do not. Why this inappropriate pathos and ostentatious? Who are these people, and most importantly - what exactly, are they trying to prove?

Those who chose this option to get rid of foul language need only one thing - to want. Very much. If a person does not want to stop, then give him at least three terrible vows, he will still swear. Therefore, if you want, then it will be very simple for you to stop talking obscenely.

Conclusion: the method works, but with an important nuance.

How to stop swearing? It is difficult but doable. Start with self-control and the ability to close your mouth in time. I'm sure you will succeed.
