Yikes, I’ve been known to say, ‘whoops did I just say that aloud?”

Laughing. I don’t even bother anymore. 🙂

I’ve heard this said differently: 1. Is it true? 2. Is it kind? 3. Is it necessary? Sometimes, 4. Did it hit the mark? overrides all, I’m ashamed to admit.

Yes…heard it before, it hasn’t registered yet.

if only we all paused to ask these questions

Yes, if only.

Oooh that hits close – hmm maybe some thought should be given to that.

Me too Jenni.

funny. i teach my kinders to think through a very similar 3 questions when unsure if they should say something or not. 1) is it true? 2) is it kind? 3) is it necessary?. i help them with this if they’re not sure, and usually numbers 1 or 2, end it.

Just chatted with a friend/colleague while grabbing coffee at Starbucks. She was anxious about a meeting she was heading into and afraid she’d end up saying too much. I just said to her…”less is more. Once it’s out..you can’t put it back…” She grinned and nodded and we clinked paper/plastic cups! Bingo!

🙂 Did you get paid for the genius of that advice?
Loading...
🙂 no…and knowing who it was…likely impossible for her to do! But I tried!

great questions to help one tune in to what you create when you choose to say something. Thanks!
And I would add one more “who is this comment for?”
Good add!
this inner monologue is why introverts are so terrible at small talk
I totally get THAT.
This is really good.
On point.
My 4th is ‘is it kind’?
Another great add!
