30 Apr How to Show Appreciation
Showing appreciation is not as easy as saying “thank you,” It’s unfortunately a lot more complicated than sending a thank you card and flowers too. Being appreciative that your family has helped you is one thing, but how do you show it? Showing appreciation is skill, and not everyone has it. Don’t worry; it is skill that anyone can learn. There are several ways to show your appreciation.
Giving well thought out gifts is one way to show your appreciation. Giving a gift from the heart is an obvious way to show someone you care about them. Gifts can range from a homemade card to a diamond ring. It all depends on the person the gift is for, and what you can afford to give. Don’t think about the price tag, think about the sentimental value of the gift yourself. Sometimes the best gifts can be made.
Sometimes giving words of appreciation is the best gift. Some people may not be gift people, but are word people. If that is the case, giving them praise when they do something for you is good. However giving them words of appreciation when they haven’t done anything recently for you can mean a lot more. Saying kind words to your family can go miles, especially if they’ve recently bailed you out of a sticky situation.
Quality time is one of the most underrated ways to show appreciation. The reason why it is underrated is because people sometimes don’t know how to do it correctly. When some people think of quality time, they think about spending the day with that person, while still being on their technology. Quality time is when you give your undivided attention to an individual. That means you’re actively listening them speak and not checking your phone every few minutes.
Appreciation is one of the things in life that should be simple, but it’s actually a bit complicated. It’s something that should be unique to the individual that you are showing the appreciation too. The reason for this is that we are all unique, special people who feel things differently. The important thing is to just try and show appreciation for those who have helped you out in life because life is already hard enough without showing some love.
