Listen For It

Do you say “I’m sorry” often, I can too at times. It’s important to apologize when we have done something wrong, hurt another unintentionally although saving the apologies for this is best. 
 

1. Keep a look out for when “I’m sorry” comes up
2. Ask yourself did I do something wrong? If yes apologize
3. ​If not think of a way to rephrase it. Ex: I’m sorry your sad and change it to: I hope happiness returns quickly or I hope your joy meter pops up soon.

Listen for it and change the apology to a wish, hope or say it in another way. If you notice you said it, that’s okay, think of a new way you could respond and use it next time.
