All the money in the world won’t do you a bit of good if you work yourself into an early grave; that’s what we’ve been hearing for ages! People, it’s time you understood that spending money on your health is an investment, not a burden! However, it is evident that occasionally, despite your best efforts to take care of yourself, sickness finds a way to get to you. But do we truly always get what we desire? Sadly, no!
Now picture yourself on one of those days when you’re under the weather, sobbing, chewing those nasty tablets, and snuggled up in your favorite blanket when someone walks into your room. You look up, and your mother stares at you and says, Get well soon, honey!
You like it, don’t you? They care, and suddenly, everything feels a little lighter. We’ve all sent and received these get well soon messages. However, do you know what has all of us in this room curious?
Well, how do you respond to this warm message? We ask you to stick around because, in this blog, we’re discussing the best answers to “Get Well Soon” messages with a little more respect and gratitude.
Best Answer to Get Well Soon
A plain old thank you? What if we changed something about that? It’s not like we’re excluding the expression, though, since a simple “thank you” will do just great. When you’re truly unwell, no one really pays attention to what you say.
However, it wouldn’t hurt to put in a little extra effort to show how appreciative you are of those who consistently check on you and be in your presence. What do you say about that? Ready to pour your heart out on the responses? Let’s get it.
Tips to answer when someone says Get well soon
Get well soon – We’ve all said it numerous times. A simple, heartfelt wish you get offered by your loving family members and friends or perhaps a stranger when you’re physically feeling low. Today, we’d like to discuss the tips for responding to these well-intentioned words so you can make someone’s day a little brighter.
A warm greeting would be nice
Do you want to make a difference? Start with a warm greeting and see the person’s face light up.
Can you picture being unkind to someone who only wanted you to get better? Not cool, right? Many of us here carry a dismissive attitude because, honestly, sometimes, you just don’t have the strength to respond. Even then, we suggest that you make an effort to smile kindly at the individual.
Say something like, thank you for thinking of me and taking time out to visit even though work’s been keeping you busy. I’m happy you could make it. You’re the real one.
Now, the example above expresses your gratitude and shows you appreciate them. Moreover, it also strengthens the bond between you and the other person. Here’s to wonderful, healing friends like you who make the journey so much brighter!
What’s your relationship with the person?
Now, many of you may wonder why your relationship with a person matters when you just want to reply to someone’s get well soon message. It’s not like we’re telling you to speak gently to one person and be nasty to another!
Remember that when you respond, the only thing that counts is the tone of your voice. Still didn’t get it? Oh well, this matters, especially when the person has come to wish you in person because in a text message, everything sounds the same, doesn’t it?
Let us give you an example to clarify things for you. How does that sound?
Okay, so naturally, you respond in a kind and caring manner if your family or closest friend wishes you a speedy recovery. In fact, you talk endlessly about how their support is your strength when you’re feeling particularly passionate or talkative.
But what if your supervisor or coworkers are wishing you the same thing? Without a doubt, you will continue to speak in a friendly tone. But you’ll really appreciate their consideration. Compared to your own family, you are more likely to thank your employer and coworkers professionally.
Are you wishing them in person or on chat?
In a message, like we said, everything sounds pretty much the same. But how you chat isn’t the exact way you talk, right? Although many may perceive your chat messages as abrupt or impolite, you were actually being kind. Follow our advice: while responding to them via texts, use cheerful emoticons, and when you’re face-to-face, smile genuinely.
Common responses
Easy and well-understood, this is what the generic responses to someone’s wishes are, don’t you think? They are brief, which is a given because you’re not writing paragraphs when you’re not in your best health.
Saying something as basic as “thank you” or “I appreciate it” shows that you are appreciative but not interested in having a lengthy chat.
Here are a few common responses that can work:
I appreciate it. Thank you for all the well wishes.
Thank you for the good wishes.
Your messages made me so warm. Thank you.
Thoughtful responses
Would you like to step up your game a little? Well, you can ditch the usual thank you and express a deeper level of appreciation. There’s absolutely no need to prepare big speeches because it’s just the way you frame your words that can truly make a difference.
Here are a few thoughtful replies if you would like to know:
Thank you for keeping me in your thoughts.
I’m lucky to have you guys by my side.
Your wish did the trick. Look, I already feel better.
Your wish worked for me, I believe. Thank you.
Thanks for making time for me. I hope everything’s well on your end.
