REACH Approach to Developing Relationships

The person …
Shows respect	Not checking your messages Not invading your privacy Treat you as an equal Reply to messages Not using conversation killers
Shows empathy	Cry together with you Mirroring your emotions Verbal expression; paraphrasing what you have said
Is accepting	Don't ignore or shoot down suggestions Non-judgemental
Is caring	Gain joy by helping others Put others’ needs in front of oneself Still help you without bearing grudges; forgiving
Is honest	Don't lie Open; don’t hide the truth Don’t talk behind people’s back

 While we may not be able to REACH everyone, we must at least try to practise the above behaviours to the ones closest to us, or those whom we wish to develop good relationships with =)

Hi S3-01,

We are game for Soccer this Thurs? Please let me know so that I can plan my schedule; Benjamin, can you arrange?

Hakeem, please look for me. Thanks!

Regards,
Mr Dennis

The following are a few tips that I follow to create happiness in my life.

1. Understand what it is that will make you happy. Everyone has unique requirements for attaining happiness and what makes one person happy may be very different from what makes someone else happy. Revel in your individuality and do not worry about whether or not your desires are comparable to those of your peers.
2. Make a plan for attaining goals that you believe will make you happy. Your mood will very likely increase as your pursue your goal because you will feel better about yourself for going after something you value.
3. Surround yourself with happy people. It is easy to begin to think negatively when you are surrounded by people who think that way. Conversely, if you are around people who are happy their emotional state will be infectious.
4. When something goes wrong try to figure out a solution instead of wallowing in self pity. Truly happy people don’t allow set backs to affect their mood because they know that with a little thought they can turn the circumstances back to their favor.
5. Spend a few minutes each day thinking about the things that make you happy. These few minutes will give you the opportunity to focus on the positive things in your life and will lead you to continued happiness.
6. It’s also important to take some time each day to do something nice for yourself. Whether you treat yourself to lunch, take a long, relaxing bath or simply spend a few extra minutes on your appearance you will be subconsciously putting yourself in a better mood.
7. Finding the humor in situations can also lead to happiness. While there are times that require you to be serious, when it is appropriate, find a way to make light of a situation that would otherwise make you unhappy.
8. Maintaining your health is another way to achieve happiness. Being overweight or not eating nutritious foods can have a negative effect on your mood. Additionally, exercise has been known to release endorphins that give you a feeling of happiness.
9. Finally, it is important to understand that you deserve happiness. Those who believe that they are not worthy of happiness may subconsciously sabotage their efforts to achieve happiness. If necessary, tell yourself each day that you deserve to be happy and remind yourself what steps you will take to achieve the happiness you desire.
