We all know how precious it is to be surrounded by the people you love and you feel close to. This is what matters the most in life - your family and friends, your own support system. However, in our day-to-day life, we often take them for granted and assume they know we love them. Sometimes we don’t have time, we are self-absorbed, and think about our goals and problems only, so we forget to make them feel special.
But believe us that it doesn’t take much time or energy to show your loved ones that you care. Just try being more sensitive and make some efforts. Here are a few suggestions to help you.
 As the saying goes: “Your actions speak louder than your words.”

Send a Card or a Note

Unfortunately, the tradition of sending handwritten cards or notes is often forgotten, due to the fast living pace. But try to remember that feeling of opening the mailbox and seeing a card or a letter with your name on it. This can make a big impact on someone you care about. You can send cards for special occasions (birthdays, weddings, the birth of a child), or when your loved one is sick, or in some difficult situation and we guarantee it will cheer them up. Try finding the best inspirational words and quotes. If you feel a little rusty and unsure how to begin, you can find a lot of ideas at The Write Greeting. Use some of the popular sayings, greetings, and quotes, or think of them on your own. Whatever you choose, people will be thrilled and grateful. You have so much love in your heart. So put it on paper and share it with the world!

Wake Every Morning with An Appreciation for The Other Person

There are a lot of small gestures and signs that you can show to your loved one every day. It will not only make him/her happy, but it will give you a sense of happiness and peace daily. Saying “I love you”, making his/her favorite lunch, making them a cup of coffee or tea may be all that is needed.

Always Apologize

Arguments are very common amongst families and friends, but it’s very wise to know when to stop and to pick your battles. Show understanding for your loved one’s point of view. In the end, you will both be sorry for the harsh words you said. So don’t be afraid to apologize first. You are not perfect, but accepting that fact is what makes you a better person. It will make both of you feel better and encourage the other person to relax and apologize next time.

Show Trust

Nobody is perfect and everybody has lied at some moment in their life, but we should always try giving our loved ones a chance, without judging or distrusting them. Showing you are certain they are telling the truth, and also believing in them (their abilities, character, skills, talents, etc.) will make your relationship stronger than ever.

Show Genuine Interest In Their Life

Show them you are interested in what’s going on with them. Talk about their passions, work, hobbies, and pay attention. Offer to help them with their goals and make them feel valued. When you show empathy and comfort them, it will boost their confidence and motivate them, while also making you two even closer.
