How to Greet People in the Morning
-
1Have a positive, upbeat attitude when you say, โGood morning!โ Having a positive attitude can help reduce stress and improve your health. [8] X Trustworthy Source Mayo Clinic Educational website from one of the world's leading hospitals Go to source Greeting someone with a smile or a friendly texting tone can help others start their day on a high note. Some believe it even lifts the other personโs spirits. [9] X Research source
- Try not to be too over-the-top with your morning greeting, though. It may seem sarcastic or insincere.
- An overly enthusiastic greeting can also annoy someone who takes a little longer to get going in the morning.
- Try a simple, witty โgood morningโ delivered with a smile to give them a chuckle.
-
2Match your morning greeting to each person. Make your good morning more personalโand funnierโby making a joke each person finds especially funny. [10] X Research source This is easier when you know the person. For example, a joke about coffee is going to land better with a coffee drinker than with someone who drinks tea in the morning.
- When offering a funny morning greeting, try to avoid controversial subjects or offensive material. This is especially important at work.
- Stand-up comedian Kendall Payne recommends trying to see the humor in everyday situations that other people may miss.
- If you donโt know someone well but see them often, a cheerful โgood morningโ with a universal joke, like something about hitting the snooze button.
-
3Come with coffee or pastries for an extra jolt of morning cheer. Picking up a morning treat can make friends or coworkers much more likely to laugh at your witty greeting. Itโs also a great way to say โgood morning!โ While it may not be financially possible to bring treats every day, an occasional morning pick-me-up is thoughtfulโฆand usually very much appreciated.
- Consider checking in with your friends or coworkers to see if someone else is bringing treats or find out what people like to drink.
