Your challenge today is to recognize when you are ready to say or do something that may be interpreted as “mean” or “aggressive” and switch gears.
So many times people use excuses for their behavior. I really believe that the only thing we can control is what comes out of our mouth. (That includes what we send out via email...remember that thoughts are things.)
You may be faced with a situation that requires an unpopular response, but think through what your message needs to be, and the outcome you are striving for. You will have more success and be able to turn people around with a solution that people can identify and relate to, as being a possible way to solve a problem.
Most people are looking for resolution of problems, not a lot of talk that amounts to things staying the same. Solve a problem today. Choose your words wisely. Embrace positive thinking. “Now let’s get going.” xo Sally
