I used to have issues with being impulsive. Specifically sending emails and texts. The way I dealt with it is, before i hit the Send button, I have to wait a whole day before I send it. Because it's based off of being impulsive, you can say or do things that you don't mean or things come out in a way that you maybe necessarily didn't intend. Or maybe you were being really honest in what you were sending but edit for clarity and as not to seem crazy or irrate. I always wait a day. 9 times out of 10, I find that what I wrote (or said during a call) was too much or I should never send it. When you get an impulse to call or talk to him, write out what it is that you want to say. When your fingers go towards the keyboard or phone, stop and think about how you have always felt after you called or sent him something. Waiting is my best friend.
