Hey Friends,
Conflict and mistakes are unavoidable, especially in relationships, friendships and certain other areas of our lives. If we want our social connection to last for decades, it becomes paramount to know, how to really apologise and why saying so is important.
I would say:-Effective apologies can repair a relationship that would otherwise fade or end.
Apologies are powerful. They bring us together. They are important because without them relationships can’t be repaired.
Thankfully, now we do have certain tools through which we can learn how to heal hurt within our relationships and have meaningful conversations with our loved ones on how each person likes to move forward.
Coincidently, I stumbled across a popular love Languages quiz by author Gary Chapman. I found it quite interesting and ended up taking the Apology Language quiz as well. I would say that taking such quizzes is a good idea because they give us a chance to get to know ourselves more deeply, learn something we never knew, or confirm what we already do know.
Self-awareness is the most essential skill to develop because it helps us to connect with ourselves in a better way. I did them because such quizzes are an opportunity to ask myself those questions that I may not regularly consider otherwise. A great apology is rare these days, but this questionnaire clues you in on how you prefer to be approached when you’ve been hurt, and how you are most likely to approach others when you’ve affected them.
With the increase of Zen-Z people around us, apologies are becoming more meaningless. It can be comforting or affirming to realise that Yes, you’re a spontaneous person who relishes a last-minute invite or No, you’re a regimented individual who likes sticking to a strict schedule and there’s nothing wrong with you because of it. In fact, you’re not alone in your quirks and are part of an entire category of people.
The results of these tests help us to understand the inner workings of people who are not like us in a clearer way and let us know, how to communicate with those individuals more effectively. When we take these personality quizzes, we gain an exciting insight into who people are, how they operate, and in what ways we can come together.No one person can be fully defined by a single answer or test, but perhaps it’s piecing together a mosaic of yourself that’s so entertaining and powerful.
Do take this quiz and you will discover, five lesser-known personalities that would provide you with a unique perspective. Who knows? You may be astonished at what you may discover.
Take good care & enjoy reading your dose of mindful productivity!
