Ever blurted something out and instantly wished you could take it back? 🙈 Yeah, me too! Here’s how I’m learning to be more careful with my words (and trust me, it’s a work in progress 😅): • I PAUSE before speaking—just a beat or two. It helps me think! • I keep my message SIMPLE. No rambling = less confusion. • I listen more than I talk. Eye contact + real attention = better convos. • I ask open-ended questions. It keeps things flowing and shows I care. • I don’t treat disagreements like battles. It’s about learning, not winning! • I use the THINK test before criticizing: Is it True, Helpful, Inspiring, Necessary, Kind? • I speak with my long-term goals in mind. No cheap shots, even if I’m tempted! • I only say what’s IMPORTANT. Silence is better than nonsense. • I avoid gossip and negative talk. Uplifting vibes only! • I watch out for microaggressions—always learning, always improving. We all mess up sometimes, but I’m committed to getting better.
