image by M. Lee Freedman “We've all put our foot in our mouth at some point, but there are three questions to begin experimenting with to increase mindful communication when saying, texting or messaging anything to family, friends, co-workers or strangers.

Experiment with asking these three throughout the week when interacting with anyone, see what you notice.” -Elisha Goldstein     Wishing you mindful awareness in your communications today Lee M.
