In case you don't know. . . Speaking your mind as it pleases you is not a virtue.
Thoughtless words or deeds
can hurt others deeply, and make them harm themselves.
Also, holding back what
you should say can make you resent a person and create a barrier that ruins your
relationships for a long time.
It is, therefore, important
to guard your tongue when speaking your mind, and also to speak up when
necessary to increase your self-confidence.
Here’s a simple way you can mind
your manners when speaking your mind:
Set aside personal opinions
and biases.
Example:
Inappropriate: “You always
call me at the worst time of the day. You should not call me during these busy
hours. It gets me upset. You should call when I’m less busy.
Crack!
If you talk to people in
this manner, from experience, you will make them feel they are annoying or useless!
Appropriate: “I would like
to talk with you, but I’m busy right now. Please, let me call you back at a
later time. Late in the evening is a better time for me to talk.”
What goes to the mouth proceeds from the mind. Cultivate your mind to speak tactfully and you will
improve your relationships.
Is there someone in your life who behaves in a certain way you don't like? And maybe because you haven't told them they get worse at it, so you're wondering if you should confront them and how. I hope this post helps you to tell them politely.
Love and More Success.💗
Your friend and Coach,
