Go ahead; say a really bad word out loud today...


Have you said a curse word today? 

It could be good therapy. Dr. Neel Burton, author of “Hide & Seek,” says there are some real physical and psychological benefits to using curse words – if you do it effectively. Studies have shown cursing can reduce pain, lower blood pressure, increase endorphins and circulation and even give us a better sense of power, control and well-being.

In order to use bad words with good purpose, it’s important to use them sparingly. “Chain swearers,” or people who curse more than a few times a day wind up desensitized. Not only will they not feel the benefits of cursing, the people around them will become immune to their emotional outbursts.
