Although our friends and family might know we love them, I think many of us often get so caught up in the busyness of life that we forget to express how grateful we are for them.<\/p>\n

Showing gratitude for others seems to be something that happens less and less in today\u2019s world filled with too many screens and not enough face-to-face time.<\/p>\n

Between running kids to and from appointment and activities, juggling work and duties around your home, and trying to keep up with your daily responsibilities, it can be easy to forget to make the time to show sincere gratitude for others. I think it\u2019s so important for our relationships and our happiness to make a point to try to brighten someone else\u2019s day and let them know how much they mean to us. After all, our time with them may be much shorter than we realize.<\/p>\n

In the spirit of showing others how much we care for them, today I\u2019m sharing 15 powerful ways to show gratitude for others that I think you will find easy to fit into your busy schedule 🙂<\/p>\n

15 POWERFUL WAYS TO SHOW GRATITUDE FOR OTHERS:<\/h2>\n

1. MAIL A HANDWRITTEN NOTE OR LETTER TO SOMEONE<\/h3>\n

Snail mail seems to be a lost art form these days, yet everyone I know loves receiving mail that isn\u2019t just bills. Tell that person what you love or admire about them in a written form and you\u2019ll be sure to make their day!<\/p>\n

2. GIVE HUGS \u2013 LOTS OF THEM!<\/h3>\n

You don\u2019t have to be one of those people standing on the corner holding a \u201cfree hugs\u201d sign, but do offer up more hugs and affection to those you love. Hugs have been proven to decrease stress levels in both people partaking \u2013 what a great way to reduce some stress for someone having a rough day!<\/p>\n

3. DO A FAVOR FOR SOMEONE<\/h3>\n

Whether it\u2019s dropping soup off to your sick friend, bringing coffee or treats to a neighbor just to brighten their day, or running an errand for someone. Simple favors like these can go a lotngway in showing others that you care about them, and doing these small favors will likely put you in a great mood as well. It always feels good to give to others!<\/p>\n

4. PROVIDE ENCOURAGEMENT<\/h3>\n

Maybe this person is wavering in their abilities and questioning whether or not they are capable of completing something they could like to do. Be an encouragement to them and a cheerleader to help them in reaching their goals. Sometimes all it takes is someone else believing in us to help us make our dreams happen.<\/p>\n

5. GIVE A GENUINE COMPLIMENT<\/h3>\n

If you appreciate how a friend of yours is always so uplifting to you and is a great positive influence in your life, tell them that!<\/p>\n

6. SHARE YOUR SKILLS<\/h3>\n

If you are a master photographer, perhaps offer up your skills to a friend to take their family\u2019s Christmas portrait this year. Or maybe you are excellent at writing resumes and you have a friend who is struggling to find work \u2013 offer up your talents, and I\u2019m sure they will very much appreciate it!<\/p>\n

7. CELEBRATE THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS<\/h3>\n

When something wonderful happens for someone else, be happy for them and celebrate their accomplishments. Even if you might feel a bit of envy, push that to the side and focus instead of being happy for that person and celebrate all the hard work they did to achieve their goal. Celebrating for someone else feels a heck of a lot better than throwing yourself a pity party!<\/p>\n

8. PERFORM A RANDOM ACT OF KINDNESS<\/h3>\n

Random acts of kindness are such a fun way to spread cheer and joy to others around us! I\u2019m loving these ideas for 50 Easy Random Acts of Kindness from Frugal on the Prairie.<\/p>\n

9. OFFER SUPPORT<\/h3>\n

If someone is going through a hard time, let them know you are there for them. Sometimes just knowing that others are thinking of us and are there with an open ear if we want to talk about it can make someone going through a rough time feel so much better.<\/p>\n
