March 24 … Disengaging from Gossip

Radically refuse to gossip today by listening for others gossiping around you and then choosing to openly defend those who are being attacked.  Such a defense is as simple as providing an alternative explanation for the criticized behavior or openly hypothesizing a positive reason as to why the talked-about actions could have taken place.

Bonus Activity: Go three (3) hours straight today without discussing or listening to anything about someone else.  Push such words away gently by saying, “Let’s talk about something else.”
