To follow the catch - first method

Catching our selves are really difficult especially if our relationship and communication breaks down.
We need to learn to catch our selves, our words, our phrase eetc
The idea of this catch is it comes to AWARENESS and ACTIONS

AWARENESS - can help us to understand we don't have to say things in the meaning ways, in the way that we wish to and take it back to the real time.

ACTION - Awareness is nothing without action. You apologize in real time or holding our words in especially hurting people

To fly above yourself - just like the birds wings

touching your weaknesses humility and vulnerabilities
it happens when you are in the moment of stress, obstacles, challenges of communication breakdown see how you react
real time practical tip: fly above your self meaning think of your greatest mentor

Use your words wisely- like birds singing nicely

tips to lessen our speaking, listening and taking care to our selves
gaining real time engagement
in a conversation, thinking how worthy are you in corporate or in entrepreneur

These habits will help to reflect oneself to become better person and communicator. Transformation is not just sharing quotes, memes and articles through social media. It needs WORK.
