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.
