Thatโ€™s such a nice reply. Glad to note that my post is making a connect with the audience. Trying to put honest efforts to keep writing posts which people can relate to instantly.

Yep! Small gestures like a light touch makes a tremendous impact on the confidence of a person. If you can recollect as a school student we get pat on the back from teachers, as an act of appreciation and encouragement. Isnโ€™t it?. This pat which we start receiving as a student continues till we our rotations around the earth end. Irrespective of the age this pat is a magic touch๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ˜.

About the 3 Es, they are three meaningful words which are vital in boosting the self growth and improvement.

Empathy makes own very humble as they understand the feelings of others. Best example - MOTHER๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Empowerment is the most trending word in todayโ€™s scenario as it shows women who are strong and at par with the opposite gender in all matches ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช. Therefore have carved a niche for themselves too.

Encouragement is a word again, very magical as it boosts our confidence to the core. Itโ€™s a sister of pat on the back, with more positivity and strength to climb high up the ladder of success๐Ÿ†

Well!!!!! About my memorable pat on the back moment, there are many. When I get such interesting replies for my post, itโ€™s indeed โ€œA PAT ON THE BACKโ€ moment๐Ÿคฃ. What say ?

Whenever my write ups gets a boost, likes and subscribe itโ€™s apart on the back moment for me bro๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜….

To make this more intentional, our appreciation should be honest. It should not be pseudo and should come naturally without any hesitation

All queries answered I believe ๐Ÿ˜‚

So glad you wrote this! Yesterday the prime time news (global) was just oh so...sigh ๐Ÿ˜”

Yep

Actually I wrote this blog sometime back. Nowadays itโ€™s always something or the other is always bothering everyone through out the planet.

During such trying times to be of some help in the form of a small prayer, few comfort words, or a gentle pat on the back is a tonic for the people in pain and misery. Isnโ€™t it ?

Hey Uma, thanks for shining a light on the power of a pat on the back , such a great topic! It got me thinking about how those small gestures can be game-changers in different settings work, home, even self-recognition. Iโ€™d love to hear more about how you see the 3 Es (Encouragement, Empowerment, and Empathy) playing into that. Whatโ€™s been the most memorable โ€œpat on the backโ€ moment for you? And how do you think we can make recognition more intentional, not just occasional?

Looking forward for your thoughts!!!
