Sticks & Stones

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.

Did you believe this when you were younger or were you just singing along?

Words can hurt. Whether it’s someone speaking unkindly or offering their opinions on a sensitive topic, you have the power to diffuse the situation.

You can’t control what people say, but you sure can choose where to focus your attention.

You could start analyzing the situation and not be in the present which may lead you to reacting negatively. 🤔 

Or you could stay in the moment, observe the person speaking and realize these are only words and you’re not giving them permission to hurt you.

Unkind words do not determine your self-worth, you do.❤️
