How to give a real and restorative apology?

Here’re 3 steps to apologize and not to make the relationship worse:

1. Examine your motive. If you don’t feel that what you did was wrong or that you hurt the other person, you’re not ready to apologize.

3. Don’t forget to make amends! Advice from a wall art at a northwest Indiana Jimmy John’s:
