Gestures of good will

Try to mention to your friend or partner that you appreciate them verbally first. This is the first place to start because you are expressing your feelings in an open and honest manner. Gestures of good will and kindness should also go a long way too. Sometimes however, it is simply a case of being there physically for the other person when they need you and in being a good listener. They may wish to express their thoughts and opinions to you and this is where you have to appreciate and respect their perspective. This leads us on to point number three which is intrinsically connected to appreciation.
