My friend shared that her husband was complaining the other day that he was so winded during pickleball that he had to step out of the game with his friends. When that happens, your tendency is to want to reassure someone. Don’t do it. Let their complaint hang in the air. Don’t respond. Let Them sit with it. Say nothing. Let Them experience their feelings. Let the silence do the work for you. Let Them feel the consequences of their actions.
