We often rack are brains thinking about how we might be able to show appreciation for someone we love, but often forget how POWERFUL a gift our attention is and how easy it is to give.

What if the gift, or gesture, just looks like this...

“Today this person will get more of my eye contact than they’ve prob ever had in a day. More of my touch, and they’ll see more of my expressions.

I’ll have a contest with myself to see if if I can make them laugh 10x today.
...

They’ll be asked more questions by me (about things they care about), and I’ll find a few moments to drop a meaningful compliments or encouraging words on them today (about things I think they worry about).

We’ll eat food they like, and I won’t any of that stuff that annoys them

I’ll still handle my business, adhere to my boundaries, and hold frame (I’m giving from the saucer not from the cup).

But today I’m going to pay extra attention to how MUCH attention I’m giving to this person.

Then at the end of the day I’ll ask them... “Hey how was today?” and I’ll see reflection of my effort (which if done from a place of genuine kindness and care, is effortless.)

That’s a productive Saturday.
