Well,
Let Me Think . . . Copyright
© Jan Tincher - All Rights reserved Have you ever asked someone a question and they pondered before they answered? They looked down, maybe put their fingers on their chin, and were silent for a moment. Then when they answered, it was the right response to the question? Do you do that? Or do you wish you did that? Instead, did you blurt out your answer? And immediately regret it? Maybe blurting out your answer -- even though lots of times it's the wrong answer -- doesn't bother you as much as silence does. You'd rather say some inane thing than endure the silence, so you find yourself talking, just to fill the void. Afterwards you replay what happened and go, "Oh, no. Why did I say that?" Silence can mean different things to different people. Heaven forbid that someone else's silence in your presence could mean that you are boring, or that they don't have anything to say to someone like you, or that they don't like you. There are all kinds of reasons for silence, but they all don't have to be negative. Well, if there is silence, why don't you fill it up in your mind with, "Well, let me think . . ." before you say whatever it is that you were going to blurt out? At least thinking that would give your mind a direction to go and time to come up with something decent to say, maybe something intelligent before you jump in to fill the gap. *** Which reminds me. Have you ever spent your time, at night just before you go to sleep, worrying about what you should have said, should have done that day? TIP: That's one of the very worst times to be thinking bad thoughts. But that's a different story. Just suffice it to say for now that that is a no no, and you can learn how to handle it here: http://www.tameyourbrain.com/unconsciousmind.htm *** Another plus is, if you thought those four little words, "Well, let me think . . .", before you opened your mouth, you may find that you really don't want to say whatever it was you were going to jump in with. Thinking the words, "Well, let me think . . ." gives your mind an opportunity to think constructively and intelligently. Here's an idea. Take on the guise Sherlock Holmes did in the old detective series. Cultivate the habit of pondering, as he did, of being silent for a moment before you answer. This will help you be proud of your contribution to any discussion. Programming your brain to think before you speak is a wonderful habit to cultivate. And it's easy to pass on. People learn by example. Make sure the example you are showing them is the one you want. Thanks for reading. Jan P.S.
