Becoming a better listener:
- Not checking my phone while the other one talks
- Asking questions then actively listening
Becoming more grateful as a lover:
- Expressing my gratitude on something every day to my beloved
- Every evening writing down 3 things what I am grateful for in my beloved
Becoming more humoristic:
