Hello Everyone! I want to share with you all something I heard this morning that resonated with me. I thought is might be a good way to practice the ‘art of response’. Before we speak out loud there are three things to think about…… 1. Is it true? Is what I am about to say true or honest? 2. Is it helpful? Will I actually help the individual with what I am about to say? 3. Is it kind? Is what I am about to say to this person, are they kind words? Then proceed to speak. We can also use this ‘art of response’ with our children too, especially if you have school-aged and older children. This is actually a good discipline to have and for our children to have. We will find we will apologize less for what we say.
