How to Apologize When You Don’t Mean It
We’ve all been there. You get caught saying or doing something you shouldn’t have. Now you're expected to apologize, but you don't actually feel remorse.

With commitment and practice, you too can convincingly apologize even when you don’t mean it.

#100 Things in 20 Minutes
Inspired by Judey Kalchik (her story is linked below). Thank you for the inspiration. Before we get started... After I read Judey's piece, the first thing I thought of was an exercise one of my high school English teaches had us do before completing a writing assignment. He would have us write down any and everything that was on our minds, no matter how out there it was. The purpose? I am not entirely certain, but I think it was either to empty our minds of distractions or to give us ideas if we were feeling stuck.
