All you need is a pause.

Once said, a lifetime to live by.

We live in a quick-reply world.

It sadly extends beyond the small talk.

Things are often spoken in a reactive fashion. 

This could be to a team member at work, or one's spouse or kids at home.

In the moment it feels right.

Moments later, not so much.

Perhaps a better choice of words.

Perhaps a better tone.

Perhaps in a different setting.

All you need is a pause.

Pause for 3 seconds in that moment.

And then delay the critical feedback by a day at least.

It'll work wonders both personally and professionally.

Avoid the knee-jerk 🦵🏼

Live pain free :p
