Hey, your friends are only human at the end of the day, right? Just like with most things, those special pals to need to be encouraged from time to time and reminded of how much they truly mean to us.
Give Them A Bell
Texting, WhatsApp, BBM, Facebook Chat, Viber; the list of communication is endless, but sometimes you gotta go back to basics…how about a simple phone call? It may not always be convenient to call your pals every day, but five minutes of your time just to say ‘Hey, how you doing?’ or ‘You were on my mind today, is everything okay with you?’ can be the difference between your friend having an okay day or having a great day!
Surprise Them With Their Favourite Sweets
The smallest, kind gesture can be enough to let your best pal know how much you truly appreciate them. If they love skittles, grab them a ‘Tear and Share’ or if it’s Nestle’s Milky bar, how about the ‘Love To Share Giant Buttons’…but hey who said the size mattered?
Reflect On The Good Memories
Ah let’s take a moment to reminisce on the good times! Feels pretty good right? Revisiting the past doesn’t always need to leave you in tears, it can be refreshing to reflect on how far you and your friends have come on the journey you have shared together. After an hour or two, your friend should feel encouraged to see how much purpose they have served in your life.
Go For A Nice Walk
Never underestimate how fulfilling it can be to walk through a nice park with beautiful scenery whilst catching up with your friends. Plus let’s be honest, this is probably the most basic exercise you’ll do all week!
Text Them Spontaneously With A Nice Message
‘I love you’, ‘You smell, but I still love you’, ‘I’MMMM EVERY WOMAN!’…ever text one of your pals a random message like any of these? You’d be surprised in the difference in can make to their mood.
ROAAD TRIIP!
Planned or unplanned, you can never beat a good ol’ road trip whether it’s to your favourite beach resort or a completely new destination! The summer season is the perfect excuse to encourage your pal to let their hair down and have some fun.
Email Them A Funny Picture
Everyone has that random photo that leaves them in stitches. or perhaps that old throw back skool pic that will never, ever reach the site of Instagram! This is the picture you need to spontaneously email to your friend; and if it doesn’t make them cry they’ll certainly have something to laugh about.
