A feeling of gratitude arises from one person to another for the service that was provided. Moreover, it is assumed that the latter did not at all count on some kind of material encouragement or reward for his act. In the case when the motive for altruism was the ability to empathize with others or the desire to please a person, gratitude will be sincere. It is imperative to express gratitude, and it is necessary not even to the one who helped you, but first of all to you.
Instructions
Step 1
Do not be shy about your feelings and know how to thank people. The word "Thank you" carries a deep secret meaning, it is formed from two words "Save, God" and expresses the wish of well-being to the one to whom it refers. Say it as often as possible: to the one who held the door in front of you so that it does not hit you; to the one who shook hands when exiting the bus or gave way; to the one who picked up and handed you the dropped thing.
Step 2
Of course, the degree of gratitude can be different, depending on how much the benefactor has cost to help. But, since, as we have already said, he does not count on gratitude, then thank him as much as you can afford in this situation. Sometimes you only have words, sometimes you can thank you by providing a service and helping out this person in turn.
Step 3
Thanks are not a trifle. If everything is more or less clear to you with your friends and family, and you know that just a kiss and words of gratitude are enough here, then believe that they will be enough in other cases as well. The only condition will be their timeliness. Speak them straight away without delay.
Step 4
This rule also applies to the case when you want to thank your colleagues or hospitable hosts for their help or congratulations, who arranged a merry holiday for you. Recently, American psychologists conducted interesting research, as a result of which it was found that gratitude expressed in verbal form causes a feeling of satisfaction in both partners and strengthens the trusting relationship between them.
