I'm Sorry is Not A Complete Apology
A sincere apology can contribute to the healing of a ruptured relationship. However, "I'M SORRY" alone won't have the healing power that an apology that shows care and respect would.
If you regret something you did, and we all do things that we later regret and wish we could adequately apologize, take the time to do it right.
Step 1: REFLECT ON YOUR ACTIONS
Ask yourself how your actions contributed to an injury or problem. Try to objectively view the role you played even if you were not the sole cause of the hurt or damage.
Step 2: TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
Taking responsibility involves owning up to your actions in addition to saying “I’m sorry” or another phrase expressing your regret. Make sure you are clear and direct communicating the specific actions you are apologizing for.
Step 3: LISTEN AND IMPROVE
Listening and improving means actively listening. Give the person the opportunity to respond...
Stave Off the Senseless Trinity
Stave of this senseless trinity to achieve greater peace of mind:
1. Don't Take What Other People Say Personally.
2. Don't Treat Everything As Having Extreme Importance.
3. Don't Get Stuck With The Literal Meaning of What is Said.
Sound Good?
