Are You a Blurter?
I have a girlfriend who is a self-described âblurter.â âIâm like a gumball machineâwhatever pops in my head comes out of my mouth,â she says. Sheâs a very successful businesswoman, but she admits sometimes her blurting gets her in trouble.
I have several clients who share a similar affliction, and to be honest Iâve been known to blurt at times. Iâm working to stop, pause, and think before I speak out.
When I am acting as if everything is a 9-1-1, Iâm more likely to speak without thinking. When I feel the adrenaline pumping, I try to remember to take the pause that refreshes. I stop, take a good cleansing breath, feel my feet on the floor, and hear the sounds around me. This pause helps me become present and grounded, and Iâm less likely to blurt out.
