Building a habit of empathy in your everyday life can be really helpful and change how you connect with others. Here are some simple tips to get you started:

1. Practice Active Listening:

   • When someone is talking, really pay attention to what they are saying and how they feel. For example, when you’re having a conversation, try to put away your phone and focus on them.

2. Ask Open-Ended Questions:

   • This helps the other person share more. Instead of asking, “Did you have a good day?”, you could ask, “What was the best part of your day?”

3. Reflect on Emotions:

   • After you listen, repeat back what you heard to show you understand. You might say, “It sounds like you felt stressed at work.”

By using these tips, you'll build stronger friendships and get to know people better.
