The 5 Minute Guide to Writing Personal Notes That  Enrich Your Relationships

We live in an amazing digital society, where hand writing notes may seem as old-fashioned as churning your own butter. Can handwritten notes help you connect with those we love at a much deeper and personal level? 

The rarity and attention that a personal note gets are unlike anything else. They are a great way to connect with someone you love, admire or want to express gratitude to. 

But how do you write a good one?

Here are The Basics Of Writing Notes That Get Your Message Across

1.Know Your Purpose

Strike the right tone by clarifying what you want to accomplish.

Maybe you want to express your gratitude for a colleague who has been super helpful. Perhaps you want to write a note to someone you love. The purpose of the note will determine the tone and language you use in it.

2. Act Promptly

Sometimes speed reduces the pressure to be profound. A brief thank you suffices, even when...

Even when you love your friends or your partner in life, it's sometimes difficult to know what they really need and how to give it to them. Your tv, car and dishwasher may come with manuals, but relationships can be more of a mystery.

You know deep down, as relational beings, we all long for encouragement, validation and appreciation. It's just the way we are wired.

Of all these, Appreciation is perhaps most overlooked, in any loving relationship.

In a busy and fast-paced world, it's so easy to take things for granted. And yes we're all guilty of doing this with the very people who are most precious to us.

So how do we get good at expressing our love for someone special?

Now, you may have heard the expression that a little can go a long way, and there's no exception when it comes to showing your appreciation.

Learning how to express 'appreciation' will not only enable you to enjoy improved communication but also deeper and fulfilling relationships.

But there is an art to this!
