simple ways to encourage others

 

No matter how small and insignificant they may seem to you, positive actions do wonders to boost someone’s esteem and morale. By being that spark of positivity for someone, you can ignite wonders within them!

  • Make celebrations a part of your regular routine: celebrate victories, large and small
  • Be specific with your praise – “You did a great job at doing ….” or “I liked how you ….”
  • Tell others how they’ve encouraged and/or inspired you
  • Let others know how wonderful someone is – endorse them, write a review of their product/service, forward a letter to their boss or headquarters, etc
  • Recognize that you being a supportive presence in their life means wonders. Many people do not have a support system, someone to cheer them on or give them a shoulder to lean on. You are making a difference just by being you.
  • Offer assistance – be specific and ask “How can I help?” or “What do you need?” Be willing to follow through with your offer.
  • I always try to offer encouragement when I see people working hard. – Joi, Rx Fitness Lady
  • I love sharing how people encouraged me, and helped me one way or another – Kalley, Blogging While Nursing

I try to always leave a message when I read a post that is helpful or encouraging to me. I hope it makes them feel good, I know it would, me. I love helping people. A small word of encouragement and thanking people can really make a difference.

One of my favorite books, The Happiness Project, talked about celebrating things! To really enjoy the celebration and the anticipation!

I usually send a private FB message to those I admire just so that they keep up the good work. Because when I receive those messages I'm happy for weeks!
