Have you ever been on a team or in a group where it felt like everyone was working hard but the atmosphere was still just so negative?

Encouraging people is one of the best gifts you can give to them. It does not matter how old they are or what their status in life is, we need to be encouraged. The feeling of being encouraged and validated by someone else will make a person want to share more with you.

Whether you need a boost to get ready for your day, or to get through a difficult time in life, you may want to consider implementing the idea of encouragement for yourself. We will briefly explore different ways that you can be encouraged and lead others to feel the same way.

Smile at others, listen to others, acknowledge others, share positive thoughts with others, praise others’ efforts, boost their morale, and try to talk about their strengths and achievements.
