Power Idioms
Bite your tongue
Example: Don't you dare say that to me - bite your tongue, young man!
Meaning: Take back or be ashamed of what you said; struggle not to say something you want to say.
Origin: It's easy to see where this saying came from. If you really put your tongue between your teeth as if you were biting it, you couldn't talk. So when people tell you to "bite your tongue," they are telling you to force yourself to be silent before you say something you shouldn't. Sometimes people say it after they've blurted out what they shouldn't have. Then it means to take back the statement and keep quiet. A similar expression is "hold your tongue," which means you should remain silent.

Greetings Power Pals & Visiting Guests!
A Fresh Start, A Powerful Year Ahead!
New Year, New Conversations, New Results!
A new year always brings with it a renewed sense of possibility. It’s a natural time to pause, reflect, and intentionally choose how we want to show up — both personally and professionally.
At PowerTalk, we believe that clear communication, purposeful action, and positive connections are the foundation for meaningful success.
As we step into this new year, I invite you to focus on progress over perfection. Small, consistent steps — clear conversations, thoughtful goals, and authentic engagement — can create powerful momentum over time.
This is your year to speak with confidence, listen with intention, and communicate for results.
Thank you for being part of our PowerTalk community. I look forward to growing, learning, and achieving together in the year ahead.
Now, let's go have an "Awesome and EMPOWERING" Day!
