It's OK to SLOW DOWN when you speak

If you want to sound more fluent, use words and phrases to fill time and space in your speech!

For example, if someone asks you a question, you don’t have to automatically give an answer (especially if you don’t even know what you think yet!).

Instead, take your time.

Talk out loud, like this—

“Interesting question… I hadn’t thought about that before… hmmm…”

This is all part of normal, natural communication — and I do it, too!

Doing this will allow you to slow down, take time to THINK, and feel more present in the conversation.

Try it out and let me know how it goes. 🎉
