(Sorry, I didn't see this till now since you posted it as a reply to one of your own comments, rather than to my comment.)

I know what you mean: the more stress in my life, the less easily I can be mindful of the way I express myself in speech or in text conversations. I'm much better at it on blog posts or in comment sections, since I have more time to think, but I know it can be hard.

Thanks, btw, for changing the title.
