The Gobstopper Trick

Ever said something you wish you hadn't? For the times when your emotions are charged, & the best thing to say, is nothing at all, try this simple trick: imagine having a gobstopper in your mouth!

You remember gobstoppers, those huge sweets that dissolve slowly in your mouth? Remember how you can't say anything when you have a gobstopper in your mouth?

Try keeping an imaginary gobstopper in your mouth, & it may just dissolve the charged emotions. And then when you say something, it may just make a positive impact.
