Dole Out the Accolades on National Compliment Day
Doesn’t it feel good when someone recognizes how awesome you are? On Jan. 24, National Compliment Day reminds us of that pleasing feeling and encourages us to spread the good vibes to others by telling them something we appreciate about them. Here are a few tips for fostering a day full of compliments. 1. BE GENUINE. 2. COMPLIMENT SOMEONE YOU DON’T KNOW.
3. COMPLIMENT SKILLS OR PERSONALITY RATHERTHAN PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES. Compliments that focus on a person’s physical attributes are a bit more obvious, and in some instances, can make the recipient feel uncomfortable (even if that wasn’t your intent). Focus on the achievements or abilities you admire about someone: your thoughtful friend who checks in just to see how your day is, a friend’s awesome laugh, how delicious your book club host’s homemade cookies were, or the ingenious solution a coworker came up with for a new business venture. Kindness is contagious, so by giving a compliment, you’re contributing to a kinder, happier world. Gosh, you’re so great!
You know how you can tell when someone says something they don’t mean? People can sense when a compliment isn’t authentic, so don’t force it. Find something you genuinely appreciate about a person and tell them. Maybe it’s the way they always have a positive or upbeat attitude even when a client is frustrating, or maybe it’s their creative ideas they bring to meetings. Now’s an opportunity to let them know what you appreciate.
Did the barista at the coffee shop make the best cappuccino you’ve ever had? Tell them how skilled they are! That stranger at the grocery store whose kindness in returning your dropped dollar restored your faith in humanity? Let them know! You can even take it to the digital world — tell your favorite blog author what a great writer they are and how much you look forward to each post. You might just make their day.
