Continually

However, today I found myself for about 1 hour I was continually preparing myself to hold back my grudge before I could speak to you.

I had to prepare myself mentally to hold back my grudge for about an hour before I could dial the phone.



Is 'for about an hour' in the above sentence placed properly??

Ok,

I had to prepare myself mentally to hold back my [any feelings or emotions] for about an hour before I could dial the phone.



But is the phrase 'for about an hour' in the above sentence placed at a right place?

Yes, its placement is about as natural as can be done in that sentence.
