Day 5 – Kill Filler Words (“um, like, uh”)
Every time you say “um”, “like”, or “uh”, you weaken your message.
It’s not that people don’t understand you - it’s that they stop respecting you.
The most confident people use silence instead of fillers.
👉 Action for Today (Step-by-Step)
Here’s the drill. Do it at least 3 times today:
- Record Yourself – Take 30 seconds and talk about anything (your day, your breakfast, your plans). Don’t rehearse.
- Count the Fillers – Play it back. Every “um,” “like,” “you know,” or “uh” = 1 tally. Awareness is step one.
- Replace With Silence – Next time you feel a filler coming, stop. Close your mouth. Take a breath. Then continue.
- Practice Pauses – Deliberately pause for 1–2 seconds in the middle of a sentence. It feels long in your head, but to others, it sounds confident.
- Repeat the Recording – Do the same 30-second talk again. Compare filler count. Your goal: cut it in half.
⚡ Why this works:
- Silence makes you sound powerful.
- Pauses show control and give weight to your words.
- Eliminating fillers forces your brain to think clearly before you speak.
