Do you ever wish that someone would just do something nice for you? Do you ever get a little disappointed because it doesn't seem like anyone notices? Don't you sometimes just want someone to let you know they appreciate you?
We all could use a little encouragement. We don't have control over what others do for us however we do have control over what we can do for others. So next time you're feeling like you aren’t receiving the encouragement that you would like then why not take time to do something to encourage someone else.
Here are some ways that you can encourage others:
a smile and a sweet hello go a long ways
write someone a personal handwritten note
listen well
do a task that would mean something special to them
give a quick call to let them know you're thinking of them
You will enjoy knowing that you have encouraged someone. Then you will really value the moment where you least expected to be encouraged and were. How do you like to be encouraged?
Love the suggestions! I've noticed that I'll often think something nice about someone, like how pretty their hair looks or what a good mom or friend they are, but for some reason I don't actually verbalize it. I need to do better with verbalizing kind thoughts.
ReplyDeleteLeslie, thanks for your comment. I appreciate your taking time to encourage me. I'm glad that you have been encouraged to verbalize your kind thoughts so that others are encouraged. Thanks again for encouraging me by sharing your good words. Vicki :)
