When someone does something for you, no matter how small and it has made a significant change in your life, tell them. Appreciation makes people feel good. People love it when people listen to them, but they really love it when they are told that they have been helpful and their words have made a positive effect on someone else’s life.
I miss you
Once a month or when you have the time, send a message to your friends that you have not seen for a while and let them know you miss them. Reach out to an old friend today and ask them how they are and say that you miss them. Tell them that you’ve been thinking about them and bring up an occasion that will make them smile. It takes a second, but it can help to make a friendship last a lifetime.
I love your energy
No matter how bad a day is going for anyone when you use phrases like: “You have the best energy. I always feel better after spending time with you,” they feel better and will have a smile on their faces.
“I love your vibe.” “I really admire how positive you always are.” “I always have fun when I’m with you.” Sure, these may sound a bit cheesy, however, allowing yourself to be cheesy from time to time is one of the best things you can do for your relationships.
I saw this and it reminded me of you
If you heard a song that reminds you of a particular period, send it to the friend you used to listen to it with. If you watched a movie and it reminded you of someone, let them know. If you see a funny pair of socks or cloth that you know a friend will love, buy them.
If you hadn’t noticed while reading them, none of them are all that complicated. In fact, most of the phrases and the words that make them up are pretty small. Our words hold power, both good and bad.
Why not say the good ones?
Give these words a trial today and days to come.
