Pay attention to your words today. If you’re engaging in discourse online or IRL, your exchanges could get a little heated. If comments take a turn for the spicy or you find yourself speaking too quickly, summon your powers of discernment. Resist the urge to say whatever flows through your head and parse your words for what you really mean instead. Taking that extra minute to distill your quips to their meaningful core will elevate the quality of your exchanges — and strengthen your friendships.
