3 things trigger it these days I'm in my 40's now.
1. Rushing/being or feeling rushed related stress.
2. My brain processing large, or complex words I don't hear, Read or use myself often. I tend to speak and use very simple words when writing.
3. How frustrating/how much Im struggling with the word.
Can u guide me some tips to improve my voice tempo
