a word to remove from your vocabulary

“i’m just wondering…”

“i’m just reaching out…”

“i’m just going to…”

we use ‘just’ to soften our message; it’s a ‘safety blanket’ that devalues the word that follows it and downplays the message we want to convey.

this week, try eliminating the word ‘just’ from your vocabulary and notice how much more concise, confident, and powerful your communication can be.
