Hello, darling heart, and welcome to the drink less, live better podcast.
-:
This is the podcast that helps you to see that drinking less doesn't need to be stressful, lonely, or boring.
-:
I'm your host, Sarah Williamson, and I decided to have a year alcohol free as a little life experiment and haven't looked back.
-:
With my experience in training, I now help other people with their alcohol free or drink less adventures.
-:

-:

-:
Today's podcast episode is about saying sorry or, perhaps more accurately, not saying sorry.
-:
Why do we say sorry so often for things that it really isn't necessary to say sorry for?
-:
I think I did it to try and help or coerce people into liking me.
-:
I think I did it to avoid conflict.
-:
I think there was something about being cautious about other people's feelings and reactions to me.
-:
I certainly think I wanted approval and perhaps there was a degree of social anxiety.
-:
Here are some of the things that I have now stopped saying sorry for.
-:
I'm sorry I didn't brush my hair again.
-:
I'm sorry that my chair or my arm touched yours. I'm sorry. I haven't made dinner yet. I'm sorry. The traffic was awful for you.
-:
I'm sorry, but I disagree with you. No. None of that is required.
-:
Those sorrys are being done to fit in, to be accommodating, and in none of those situations had I made any kind of mistake.
-:
If you want to say sorry then absolutely make it sincere, make it intentional, acknowledge the wrongdoing, be really explicit. I'm sorry. I lost my temper with you. I'm sorry. I broke your favourite mug.
-:
Take responsibility for your action or behaviour and someone will see that you really were sorry for what you did. Give the apology. Give it true meaning.
-:
Show that you really care about somebody when you say sorry.
-:
