How To Spice Up Your Conversations
So the world is opening back up. While many of us are excited about that, record levels of anxiety are still to drop to pre-pandemic levels.
People are feeling anxious about a whole range of things from job changes and company re-structures to rising infection rates and financial concerns.
The other thing causing anxiety is the thought of having to mix again and actually talk to people, especially strangers.
This cause of social anxiety can make life pretty miserable for some.
Thankfully, using character strengths (there are 24 to choose from) can help.
Compare these two brief exchanges:
“Hey, how are you?”
“Fine. How was your day?”
“Fine.”
Boring questions get boring answers! Don’t be boring!
Try using character strengths to spice it up a bit.
“Hey, what have you been most grateful for today?”
