It is another way of saying count to ten before you say anything.

This is great advice. I try to practice this in my life. Many times I have failed but most times I have paused. I have avoided a great many hurt feelings and bad issues just by simply pausing.

My pause is taking a deep breath.....no matter how it is implemented, good advice.

When I am feeling overwhelmed or upset I write my feelings down and get it off my mind. Sometimes I save and read later or sometimes I read and toss right away.

i started this in high school and this method works great for me.

I have at times said things I regret but the older I get the more I pause. I don't want to be remembered as someone who was unpleasant to be around. I don't want to have a bunch of regrets either as my loved ones pass away and then beat myself up in why did I say that.

Agree. And actually, we can pause before we even speak. Silence is golden many times over. Listening is underrated.
