Everyone has been through this question: O what to offer a friend or family member who has everything?
Maintaining a friendship brings health benefitsThat much we can conclude with certainty. But it also takes work. Like any relationship, it has to be nurtured, the space and time for the relationship has to be nurtured, just as it does for the individual, it has to be tolerant and for this particular search of ours we have to be attentive...
Did you know receiving and giving gifts triggers neurological responses beneficial and very interesting for our brains?
Let's dissect the topic of gifts for that "difficult" friend we all have, and try to find the ideal solution.
Usually the friend or family member who, for us, has everything, you'll certainly have pieces that you end up neglecting or putting on the back burner in your day-to-day life. Things she used to like, but is leaving behind. You're a person of priorities.
Naturally, these people are characterised by:
When we receive a gift, our brain releases dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin and endorphins.
Neurotransmitters that together are known as the happiness hormones.
The pleasure associated with receiving a gift is indisputable. It means being remembered and valued, and it has an influence on our self-esteem and well-being.
This pleasure is explained by science as: Reward system or nucleus accumbens.
In practice, methods of education and teaching are already based on the brain's Reward System.
How does the brain's Reward System work?
When it receives a stimulus, the brain will automatically seek a justification for the action.
If the stimulus is positive, the justification will be "I did something right".
If the stimulus is negative, the justification will be "I did something wrong".
In this way, positive stimulation has an impact on self-esteem and learning.
Your friend is sure to say something you'd like to in your everyday conversations. These are unnoticeable hints that even he doesn't realise.
Por exemplo: “Emprestas-me uma caneta?” ou “Esta carteira está demasiado grande para colocar no bolso”
Look at him. See what he doesn't have at home and what is strange not to have, given the person he knows.
For example: Your friend is very organised, but they don't have a notepad on their desk for quick, essential notes, or the scented candle that sets the mood as soon as they enter the house.
Or Your friend is always impeccably dressed, but doesn't have the standard collar stretchers on his shirt.
Relationships are felt.
Feel what stage of life you're in and what can make a difference.
For example: Your friend is a father, at this stage all the presents are for the baby. Give the father a piece of jewellery with the initials of his son's name. In this way you respond to the focus of the friend's happiness, but with a symbolic gift.
