How I did it: First I had to be mindful of what was coming out of my mouth.  I had to listen to myself and ask myself, if I was hearing that from a stranger, what would I think about them.

That was interesting.  Then I got into a pattern of using new words, and built up my vocabulary a bit.  I found that I was expressing myself a lot more clearly and specifically.  I wasn't just using the easiest generic word.  I had to put more thought into my statements and it really started to show.

Lessons & tips: Pay attention to what you are saying.  Then, think about what you really mean, and see if there are better ways of describing things.
