Before reacting in initiative, practice a deliberate, soft interval. See what nourishment is already present within the current shared exchange. This deliberate slowing allows richer substance to bloom between speakers. Let expression meet reflection in the way you approach this. Let this small step help you notice what deserves patience as you bring a useful intention back into view.
