we all make mistakes from time to time

and nobody is perfect so learning how to

give an effective apology is a useful tool

apologizing can rebuild trust or

even repair a strained relationship

one : Regret

it's important to start your apology by

clearly conveying your regret over your

behavior acknowledge the pain

disappointment or inconvenience you

caused and having empathy towards the

person you've heard

two : Responsibilities

this means owning up to your mistake and

taking the blame except complete

responsibility for what you did in the

consequences of your actions for your

apology to be effective you can't try to

shift the blame to someone else

which brings us to

three : Make no excuses

its natural to want to make excuses for

your actions when apologizing but it may

come off as insincere on the other hand

by taking responsibility for your

actions without making excuses you will

likely gain respect and forgiveness from

the person you're apologizing to

Four : Remedy

offer a way to make up for the

damage you've caused this can be done in

a number of ways such as promising not

to do it again we're paying for any

physical damage you caused

Five : Requests for forgiveness

make it a point to ask

for forgiveness

this may seem obvious but you have to

make sure that the person you're

apologizing to knows that you want to

gain their forgiveness not just relieve

yourself of any kill you feel

keep intention and attitude in mind when

you're apologizing coming across as

insincere will lower your chances of being forgiven

it's important that you reflect on what

you've done wrong and truly feel sorry

for what you did before attempting to

apologize

try putting yourself in the shoes of the

person you're apologizing to

would you be upset if you were them?

What would you want to hear as far as an apology goes?

also don't forget that intention and

attitude can be translated non-verbally

as well through eye contact

facial expressions and body language

take some time to think about the last

time you apologize to someone or someone

else apologize to you do you think it

was effective
