A Practice Before Sending a Message

Speak and write with kindness.

Our words can build understanding or cause harm. Before sending a message, we can pause to make sure our speech is kind and true.

The practice

Breathing in, I read my words again.

Breathing out, I ask: is it true, is it kind, is it the right time?
