Lately, I’ve been replacing ‘I’m sorry’ with ‘thank you.’ Instead of, ‘Sorry I’m late,’ I’ll say, ‘Thank you for waiting for me.’ Instead of , ‘Sorry for being such a mess,’ I’ll say, ‘Thank you for loving me and caring about me unconditionally.’ It has not only shifted the way I think and feel about myself, but has also improved my relationships with others who now get to receive my gratitude instead of my negativity.
