In this brief article I will share one of my most popular relationship enhancement techniques. It is so simple it may make you laugh, but will help you to invigorate relationships that leave you yawning.
This is one of those things everyone does once in a while, but almost no one does on a regular basis. Try making a habit of it and your relationships will be more successful than ever. This will work with spouses, bosses, parents, siblings, neighbors, children, coffee shop mixologists and most other types of people.
The Technique
You get daily mail service, right? How long has it been since you've told your mail carrier how much you appreciate what he does for you?
You may take Karate classes, socialization classes for your new puppy or maybe you take college classes, and someone teaches those classes. Have you told that someone how thankful you are to have him in your life, helping you?
You go to the dentist, the doctor and the hair dresser, and you pay them for their services. You probably thank them, too. But what about going a little further to compliment the people in your life in some way?
Give Positive Comments
- in a sincere way
- in your own heart-felt words
- in a face-to-face situation, making good eye contact
- with a smile on your face
- with or without a handshake
- keep it short and sweet, say it and leave
A few seconds is all it takes to say something that might make someone's day. You never know when your kind words may make a big difference in someone's life.
A True Story
A few days ago I went to a local coffee shop, and when I went to pay my bill, the owner of the shop came to the register and said, "I want to thank you for visiting with us today. I appreciate you. And I want you to know you are always welcome here."
She said it like she meant it, and she looked into my eyes as she spoke. It was a nice touch. I walked to my car feeling so good . . .
You know, I had never had the proprietor of a coffee shop or cafe say those exact words to me before, certainly not in such a sincere way. Oh, I had been told thank you and come back soon -- things like that -- but this was something special. In fact, her words made me feel special.
And that is the trick to doing this: try to make the person you are complimenting feel special. Go out of your way a little to get your point across.
The person will recognize this and think you mean business.
In other words, all you have to do is tell people you care about them and you are glad to have a relationship with them. You are, in essence, acknowledging that relationship.
Few people ever tell us such things. If you cultivate the art of going an extra mile to say you care, people will respond in the affirmative!
Some people may be pleasantly surprised to hear your tender words . . . and what an impression you can make . . . if you remember to stop and say you care about people or you truly appreciate the good work they do for you.
Others may not know what to make of it.
In either case, you will feel pretty darn good about yourself. Any time we go out of our way to make someone feel good, even if it's just saying thank you in a very special or distinguished manner, we feel a warm glow inside . . .
and we know we have taken another step toward making the world a better place.
