It's so important to think before we speak, yes there are times when we do need to speak up immediately to stand up for ourselves but there is still a few minutes in which we can think. When we stop and think we are giving ourselves a chance to respond in a more wiser and appropriate way.

So for today: Try to stop yourself before you respond, think about what you would like to say and then think is it the right thing to say. Allow yourself a minute to think before you respond to others.
