Speaking Softly

Testing the theory that a raised voice is tied to elevated stress, today's experiment was to speak as calmly as possible.

It worked well at a morning staff meeting. Maybe I was just paying a little more attention than usual, but the daily quota of ambiguity was less frazzling. The walk to the car was energized, not exhausted. The evening felt more like a Saturday than a Monday.

Let's try it again tomorrow.
