Painless apologies exist.
Pep Talk: When it’s time to apologize, that’s what time it is. It’s not time to grovel or beg for forgiveness. It’s not time to rationalize or disperse blame. It’s not time to make the person to whom you’re apologizing see how they’ve hurt you. All that can come later. First, apologize. “I’m sorry” means exactly that; it’s merely a status update. A clear, simple fact that the recipient may accept or not- but that’s on them.
Today remind yourself: Painless apologies exist.
