I just got some (personally) mindblowing advice, re: a message that felt overdue:
You don't have to explain yourself.
Say, '"Thanks for your patience; it took longer than I expected to get back to you."
and then move on with it!

Sarah McManusx.comUnderstanding Others' Emotions | Lisa Feldman Barrett
youtube.comA fantastic insight by Lisa Feldman Barrett: When someone expresses anxiety, the first thing you should do is ask: do you want empathy or do you want a solution?
Will 100% use this phrase going forward.
Some years back my wife and I got into the habit of asking each other
âdo you want comfort or solutionsâ when the other was having a bad time. That one sentence can save us from an argument 9/10 times.
Alexander Jamestwitter.comThere are five apology languages:
Expressing regret (âI feel ashamed for how I hurt you.â)
Accepting responsibility (âI was wrong for doing that to you.â)
Genuinely repent (âI can only imagine how much pain I caused, I am so sorry. I wonât do that again. Next time, I will do _____ differently.â)
Making restitution (âThis is how I will make it up to you
Itâs wise to slow down, to let things take time, to quiet the stories our minds tell us about another based on the small pieces we see. Itâs wise to ask good questions to truly know who they are and what they mean when they say certain things, to extend grace + compassion 4/4
