Eliminate swear words from your vocabulary

Think positive

Practice patience
If you are in a traffic jam or something is making you nervous and you think you are going to lose your patience, then give yourself a few more minutes. Be honest with yourself about things and ask yourself about the things that bother you … if they really are important enough to lose your patience. If you are not in control of the situation, why get impatient? And if you have it, why bother?
Stop the complaints
Complaints can be the prelude to swearing because they are a clear sign of frustration. Before you start complaining, think that no one wants to hear your complaints. Avoid complaining about trivial things, remember that you have no control over most things that happen.
If there are things that you do have control over, then find the solutions you need … but calmly and without swearing.
