Compliments Day!

Everyone loves a compliment, how could you not?! For the person receiving the compliment it makes them feel reassured, confident and just plain good about themselves. But there are also benefits for the person giving the compliment as well.

By giving a compliment to someone you are connecting with that person in an honest, kind and open way, which is great for any relationship and makes you feel good. After giving a compliment you can always walk away with a slight spring in your step.

Giving compliments is also a great way to encourage you to see the positive in things instead of the negative.

The first and only rule to giving a compliment is to genuinely mean it. False compliments are uninspiring and worthless, for both the giver and the receiver. The only thing a compliment has to be is heartfelt, honest and kind… with no strings attached.

“Gosh-mum-you-look-really-nice-today-can-I-have-20-dollars.”

Doesn’t really have the same effect as just, “Gosh mum, you look really nice today, you should wear dresses more often.”
