Break the 'Like' Habit—Sound Smarter Fast!

Ever catch yourself saying “like” way too much? 🙈 I totally get it—it’s a tough habit to break! But I’ve found some tricks that actually work (and make me sound way more confident 😅). Here’s what’s helped me: • I tap my leg every time I say “like”—it’s a quick reminder! • Recording myself talking was eye-opening. I counted every “like” and tried to beat my score each time. • Slowing down and pausing instead of filling space with “like” made a HUGE difference. • I started swapping “like” for words like “around,” “roughly,” or just pausing for a breath. • For quotes, I use “said” or “thought” instead of “like.” • Expanding my vocab with new words (hello, Word of the Day app!) keeps things fresh. Honestly, it’s all about catching yourself and practicing. If I can do it, you can too! ❤️ Let’s sound smarter together—one less “like” at a time! #CommunicationTips #SpeakConfidently #PersonalGrowth #Education
