5 Tips for Keeping a Secret If You are a Motormouth
4. Keep thinking about the consequences
Always keep reviewing the consequences of letting out the secret in your head. Learn to think a little before speaking. There is no rush or time limit to what you talk. Take your time and talk with ease. If the consequences of your broken promise keep swirling in your head, you will be more careful.
5. Avoid the topic as much as you can when talking with others
While speaking to people, if any topic related to your secret comes up, try to change it subtly. Never bring up the topic of or involving the secret if you can help it. If you have no choice but to discuss something involving it, graze the surface in conversation so as not to look evasive or suspicious. Then gracefully change the subject. Keep your head high and confident like you don’t know anything.
