Encouragement Over Criticism - Feb 25

If you find yourself offering your opinion a little too quickly, it might be worth pausing to consider whether your words are lifting someone or weighing them down. In today’s 5 Minutes in Nature, Liz reflects on the gentle strength of giving feedback rooted in love—and how encouragement, offered with care, can help someone build on their foundation and create something that feels deeply meaningful.

Thank you Liz. This is so timely as I am trying to inspire my husband to take care of his health better and struggling with the right approach without being a nag or shaming. It will be a challenge but I will try 😄🙏

I'm a teacher here in Brazil. Therefore, whenever I give my students feedback, I always point out the good stuff and then, I show what they can do to improve their work. I always try to be very encouraging as I know it's not that easy to learn a foreign language in a country where people don't speak it as a first or second language.
