Product Information

Pay attention to your team and really listen to what they have to say while on the phone or over video chat. If you have the opportunity, pay attention to your coworkers’ nonverbal cues to ensure everyone feels confident and comfortable while staying in. Ask open-ended questions and stay engaged to make accommodations when needed. 14. Lend a Helping Hand Doesn’t it feel good when you can help someone out? When was the last time you helped someone else? Think about it. If you want to know how to be kind, you must understand that helping doesn’t always have to be grand. It can be simple. Randomly offer to watch your kids for the night while your other half is able to catch up on some self-care. Whether they want to catch up with their friends over video chat, or just have a relaxing night with a bath and a book, hang out with the little ones. 28. Donate Clothing and Supplies You Don’t Use Aknin LB, Van de Vondervoort JW, Hamlin JK. Positive feelings reward and promote prosocial behavior. Curr Opin Psychol. 2018;20:55–9.

Don’t be afraid to express your gratitude. For example, if you are a boss, you can thank your employees. Have you ever observed how your mother, father, or teacher feels when you wish them a happy Mother's Day, Father's Day, or Teacher's Day? You consciously shower them with praise and appreciation for what they have done for you, and your encouraging words tell them that they are special to you You can find several different How-To videos on YouTube, but this step-by-step video on How to Knit a Scarf for Beginnersis one of the best. Sometimes, you may take for granted what you love the most. Let your family know how much they matter to you. Tell them how thankful you are for being able to spend this time with them, or tell them over a freshly cooked themed brunch on the weekend. 23. Try Out New Hobbies as a FamilyWe all have been there… Standing quietly in the corner pretending to be busy on phone as you watch people around you are mingling and dancing. You just want to escape, but you are the designated driver and you just cannot leave your friends stranded. Then this person appears out of nowhere and make an effort to talk to you. You are suddenly having a great time! When you a spot a wallflower at a party, go ahead and have a little chit-chat. When I was a gawky and awkward teenager, I was terrified of so many things, especially anything that was out of my comfort zone (which was just about everything!). Sometimes all it took was a friend giving me a little push to do something new. If you have friends or neighbours who are finding things difficult at the moment, see what you can do to help.

Of course, this tip doesn’t just apply to coffee. If you are going to the water cooler, try offering to get someone else a cup of water while you’re on your way, or maybe there is an elderly person in your condo or someone who has had an accident. Offer to do the shopping. It’s no doubt that our cell phones have made an impact in our work lives. Now that 87 percent of companies expect their teams to use their personal devices for work, it’s sometimes hard to put it away during meetings. Show your gratitude for your team by putting your devices away and staying engaged throughout every conversation, even if you’re meeting virtually. 18. Make Sure Everyone in Your Circle Feels Heard

Final Thoughts

Add inside jokes, cheerful notes and don’t forget to mention how much you love them. They will cherish the cards forever! Is a friend or acquaintance dealing with the pre- or post-move slog or just struggling to keep on top of things? Offer to help them declutter or clean while they get on with other tasks. 32.

Or sometimes we just don’t know what to do . We have a nagging feeling that we need to be doing something, but we’re just not sure what. When a friend’s family member dies, an incredible gift is to gather stories about the deceased. Get friends and family members to provide stories, anecdotes and photos. Your friend will forever cherish the book you’ll put together. If you can’t make an entire book, just sharing your fond memories is appreciated.
