2. Participate in group activities: Participating in even small decisions will help you learn to speak
your mind in more critical situations.

3. Think before you speak: Before you speak, think and choose your words carefully. Avoid using
hurtful, rude, or aggressive words, or using insults and foul language.

4. Keep calm: When you are calm you are better able to express yourself. Avoid screaming or
yelling as it makes people tune out.

5. Do it in writing: Sometimes, it helps to express yourself in writing. You can only speak to others

clearly when you have clarity in your own mind.

“Empathy is seeing with the eyes of another,

listening with the ears of another

and feeling with the heart of another”
