Send this to a friend who you see as part of your mental health care team.

Many of our friends and family members want to help us. This is a simple way they can share a quick note hoping we react with a chuckle or a smile. I'm grateful for the friends and family members who curate the laughs for me!

A friend said this to me recently, and it stuck with me.

It's a silent phrase we can say to help guard our speech and fill our minds with love and grace.

We are asking for help from God/higher power to guide us in our thoughts and words toward kindness and truth.

It's a plea for inner transformation.

Sometimes I need this when caregiving, so I try my best to take time to think before I speak.

Have you heard this phrase before, and what does it mean to you?
