5 Extra Ways To Say I'm Sorry by Blov: 6:41am On Dec 21, 2013 |
5 Ways To Say I’m Sorry And Show Them That You Mean It 1. Hug. It’s hard to stay mad when you hug someone. Physical touch can bridge the widest of emotional distances. 2. Write or find a poem showing how you feel about the other person outside of this situation. Keep it simple, give the poem to the person you wronged, and say, “I’m sorry. I know that might not be good enough right now and I’ve struggled to find the right words beyond I’m sorry. I found this poem with better words than I could ever write to tell you how important you are to me. Please accept my apology when you feel better.” 3. Give the person a list of the top 5 reasons they are important to you. Add a note at the end explaining, “I told myself a long time ago to remember these 5 amazing things that make you special to me. I let you down and I let myself down when I forgot those today. Please forgive me. I can’t imagine missing even one moment because I chose to use the wrong words, did the wrong thing and hurt you.” 4. Create an online collage of 10 photos of amazing places you’ve been together or fun experiences you’ve shared. Add a message to the gift, such as, “Nothing is more important than the magical moments you’ve given my life. My 8-year old inner child forgot that today and I’m sorry.” 5. Make a donation to the other person’s favorite charity. Get a receipt of the donation, hand it to the other person and apologize by saying, “I’m sorry. I know better than anyone that actions speak louder than words, but that words hurt. I honor you, I value you and I want to better for us. I started today by putting you first and contributing to a cause near and dear to your heart. Because I know who you are, what you stand for and all I want to do is love and support you – I’m sorry I forgot this today. I hope you accept my apology and see this action as my attempt to move us back in the right direction. Remember none of these apologies will work unless you get in a state of truly being sorry for your part in the situation. Use the 2-step process I’ve shared and do something extraordinary to drive the point home. The beautiful thing about apologies – if they are sincere, you really only need two words “I’m sorry.” But it’s always nice to do something extra. Take this as an opportunity to turn life’s lemons, and your humanity, into something transformational for the other person. What unique apologies have you given or been moved by? I’d love for you to share them so others can start healing themselves and their relationships today. www.pickthebrain.com/blog/5-extraordinary-ways-to-say-“i’m-sorry”-and-mean-it-using-this-2-step-process/ |
