When words hurt

And as my dad used to say when we were kids; it’s not what you say but how you say it!
So how can we ensure that our words do not hurt? That they are meant to be variables such as:
Exuding kindness and thoughtfulness?
Encouraging engagement and communication?
Fostering positivity and problem solving?
Building relationships?

So often, we may not mean what we say or say what we mean but it comes out the wrong way whenever we fail to think before we speak.

So how do we correct this?
In my humble opinion, by taking time to choose our words very carefully before delivering them and speaking them.
To say to ourselves that we would want someone else to be the same to us.
