Quiet action: "Sometimes the most helpful thing we can say is to do"

Quiet action: "Sometimes the most helpful thing we can say is to do" |
Talking is great, but everyone isn’t great at it. And forcing an unwilling, uneasy, or unskillful talker into a big conversation can backfire in a thousand painful ways. (Ask us how we know.)
In some cases, quiet action is a more empathic choice than conversation.
(Think: sticky situations, hot tempers, neurodiversity, tender topics, time constraints, emotional exhaustion, privacy requests, trust issues, laryngitis…)
Sometimes the most helpful thing we can say is to do. In moments like that, instead of sharing, take a meaningful action–even in secret. Because it’s not always about communicating to someone, but honoring the connection enough to give them what they need."
