Just read something about replacing "I'm sorry" with "thank you". So, instead of saying "sorry I was late", say "thank you for waiting for me". Replacing negativity with positivity and gratitude and breaks the "i'm sorry" cycle. Powerful.
To everyone who’s reading this... I see you. I know the world can be a dark place, but it's better with you in it. Help someone else today, and watch it come back to you.
