8 Easy Ways to Show You Care

When it comes to how we care, the ways we do it are as unique as we are. Some of us enjoy giving or receiving gifts. For others, spending time with a friend or a loved one is their thing. Performing little acts of service can be a way of saying, “I care about you” without uttering a word. Shared laughter, a helping hand, or an out of the blue kindness can also be ways to show we care. Cards and letters are, of course, timeless ways to show someone that you’re thinking of them or share congratulations or simply say thank you for something caring that someone else did for you! And, perhaps most importantly, you should never underestimate the power of simply listening to someone… When we feel heard we feel understood and better able to really connect.

Caring, while often a very personal exchange, can also be exhibited in a broader sense by supporting causes that matter to you through donations of time or money. A group effort can magnify the effects of your caring and impact people’s lives in even greater ways. 

And, of course, there’s food! Making your family’s favourite dish, delivering food to a neighbour in good times or tough, and leaving small treats on a co-worker’s desk can all help nourish relationships in more ways than one. 

There are so many ways to share quality time too, even if a lot of it is digital these days. And opportunities for giving gifts, helping out and giving someone a boost pop up all the time. You just need to keep an eye out for ways to give your time and attention to help those who need it the most. 

Simple ways to show you care: 

Get a frazzled friend a takeout treat or buy them a gift card from their favourite restaurant so they can have a stress-free night off.
Be extra patient in your daily life, share a kind word with the people who cross your path, you might just make their day. 
Send a text or email to someone you haven’t seen in a while and let them know you’re thinking of them. 
Send a card or write a letter to someone you know is in need of some cheering-up. 
Organise a family get together because it’s simply been too long.
Put your neighbour’s bin out when you know they’re ill or away. 
Offer to take some jobs off an overstretched colleague’s hands.
Deliver a thoughtful gift to someone, just because…
