How to stop gossiping
It made me

 "A shut mouth catches no flies."
How I did it: I started of with talking less and thinking more about what I want to express. Lessons & tips: Just stick with it until the first time someone says "You alreadly knew this?" or "Why didn't you tell ME!?!?!". That's a great boost :-) Resources:

How I did it: Whenever I was feeling the need to say something bad or a secret that I wasn't supposed to do, I would stop and ask my self : Do you really have NOTHING else to discuss??? don't YOU have some interesting news / things you've done / places you've been / thoughts you've made / anything that you would prefer discuss right now and NOT gossip about someone else's life? Are you so worhtless that your life has not interest at all for everyone el… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I used to gossip ALL of the time... I grew up around it. Naturally, I started doing it. But, I found little glory in doing so. In fact, after gossip, I usually felt awful. Just thinking about what that person's life is like is a good way to start. If they make more money... so what? If they are a bit promiscuous... so what? Truly, it's no one's business but their own. And even if it was, no one has the right,… Read how I did it…

How I did it: A lot of it had to do with eliminating negative people from my life. If you're around gossipy people, it's hard to get out of the habit. If you find new activities and people, it will make your life a lot easier than being stuck with the same people in the same situations. And involve those friends too, then you'll all have experiences to talk about instead of each other. Read how I did it…

this is going good.I am making progress. Yesterday I wanted to gossip about something and I remembered my goal – and yes I didn’t do it! i just changed subject.
I believe that gossiping is a way to make you feel better. you “accuse” someone else in order to make yourself look higher / better. I am very interesting person, educated and very active, nice to my friends, I have given love and taken love and gossiping should not be an option. I know that right now I am not feeling very self confident, and I know exactly why, but I have to get over it and let people live their life without my bad comments….

A juicy story

How on earth do you stop listening to an exteremly juicy story about people you know and people you dont know. I must stop reading gossip mags and blogs, that will help me first. Second I must not entertain the gossiper,by being a gossipee. Just listen and don’t provide an opinion no matter how juicy the story maybe or how ridiculous the person being gossiped about has behaved. Practice non judgement!

This sounds pathetic, but I haven’t had anybody to actually gossip with. So I’ve been doing VERY well on this goal. HA. It’s good though, and I feel a lot better about myself.
Better than before

I used to be way worse about gossiping. Now I only gossip if someone else starts, and I carry it on. I don’t carry on the conversation because I want to be accepted by whoever I’m speaking with, but rather because I agree. It’s just hard to find a balance between not suppressing annoyances with people. Brewing tensions isn’t healthy, either. I guess I could write down my annoyances with people in a journal.

On my way.

So now that this one is more in the forefront of my mind and I am actively working on it, it’s definitely going. It’s still hard as heck, but it’s going! I feel like I’m slowly breaking the habit—and it is a habit! It’s just so ugly and doesn’t get anyone anywhere except for a little bit more hurt and bitter than they were before.

I was thinking about how much I talk about other people today and realized my bad habit needs to stop. And I need to stop hanging around people that make me that way. Like, I’d rather have a random conversation about anyone that point out how ugly someone looks.
It’s mean and disrespectful and I hope to God they don’t do the same to me.
