Sometimes we come to our own assumption that saying thank you isn't enough. Going above and beyond may come natural for us, but it's also perfectly okay to do nothing. Sometimes we shy away from gifts because receiving is uncomfortable for us. It may be something we aren't use to that makes us feel a tad awkward inside. Others may not like it because the pressure to reciprocate the gesture. Think about the way you react to kindness, and see if there can be improvements made. Learning to receive can require work if you're programmed to overthinking the situation. Once you begin to notice what may be considered the polka-dotted jacket in your life, you'll start teaching yourself how to worry less.
