Just a little more gently...

Every day I notice how our language is used negatively and communication is becoming more threatening to our wellbeing. In the Media exaggerated descriptions are every where... when a flood devastates a town, using words such as tragic and terrible are appropriate. However using these same words when a football team loses a match diminishes their true meaning and creates a negative power. Words are also overused such as Stress and Trauma, trivialising and making them commonplace in our language.

Using Mindfulness in our speech and written word can help soften this harsh aspect and reduce anxiety in our communities.

Let's all try harder to speak more gently...
