Why should you write a thank you letter?

You are always lost in the hustle bustle of life. A lot of friends do a lot of nice things for you. You take it for granted. Don’t you think they deserve some appreciation for all the love they show you? It might be as small as getting groceries for you. It might be as big as being there for you when you lost your loved one. Whatever it might be they deserve some appreciation.
 

Why should you write a thank you letter?

 
1.It makes you appreciate small things in life
 
Even though you are after bigger goals in life, it is the small things which add up to the bigger things. If you don’t notice the small things now, once you reach your destination you feel “Is this all to life?” Take a moment now and feel grateful for the small things.
 
2.Your connections become deeper
 
It requires a lot of vulnerability to write a thank you letter. Every time I wrote one to a friend, they felt moved. Some of them had tears out of happiness. Our bond just grew stronger. They felt deeply loved and thought I was one of the best things that ever happened to them. They hugged me tight and did not want to lose me at all.
 
3.Your friendship takes a new form
 
Even if you are just acquaintances or talk as if you are just casual friends, once you write a letter, the relation takes a new form. You are acknowledging and appreciating all the time spent together. You are reliving the memories all at once which made your life beautiful.
 

Who should you write this letter to?

 
1.Parents
 
I used to prepare greeting cards on occasions like their birthdays or mothers’  day and fathers’ day and write how wonderful they have been to me. My parents would have saved them somewhere safely.
 
2.Friends
 
Write it to all your friends who are special to you. Make them feel special too.
 
3.Well wishers
 
May be there are a few people who you can’t be open with. But still you can write a formal thank you note for them being there.
 
4.Colleagues
 
Irrespective of how many politics exist in office, there will be a few nice people who wish the best for you. They too deserve a thank you note.
 

How to write a thank you letter?

 
Step 1: Make a list of things which both of you share.
 
It can be like commuting or going for a trek or whatever you share. If you can’t think of any, you can refer to your gratitude journal.
 
Step 2: Tell how it makes you feel good
 
“I forget the pain of commuting because you are with me.”
 
Step 3: Talk about the things you are looking forward for
 
“ I would like to hangout with you too over the weekends”
 
Step 4: Say a deep thank you
 
“I deeply appreciate you being there in my life. I am lucky to meet you.”
 
That’s it. Your thank you letter is ready.
 

Where to write?

 
You can either write it in ink on a paper or send it as an email. Even if you are not creative, simply gather a few photos of you together and mix the words and pictures. If you are creative, I will not give instructions, express your gratitude in the most creative way.
