Step 1 · Learn · Communicate and Listen Better
One plain sentence beats five loaded ones
Say the real thing in one plain sentence. · About 7 minutes.
Clear speech is respectful. Hinting, sulking, and testing all ask the other person to guess.
Situation, feeling, request. Three short sentences and you are done talking.
Then stop and let them answer.

Write It Out, Then Hear It Back
If it helps, take a few minutes to write privately in your own notebook. Reading your words out loud can help you slow down, hear your thoughts more clearly, and decide what matters most before you respond.
Private Notebook
Prompts only — nothing is typed or stored in Steady.
