You look amazing! Ways to Compliment Someone and Brighten Their Day.

You look amazing! “I appreciate you”. “You are very thoughtful”. “You are awesome”. “you have some really good ideas”.

How does that feel?”

Does it feel good? Yes! lets do more of that. Let’s also make others feel good which in return will make us feel good.

I do not know about you, but I sure could use a compliment from time to time. The stress of everyday life. With all our responsibilities of relationships, family, children, bills, jobs, side hustle, our own health issues not to mention all that is happening in the world can be a bit draining. Compliments feel good. I don’t always feel good so when I get a compliment out of the blue I hold onto it. It makes me feel special feel like I made a connection with someone.

So let’s change the energy from feeling deflated from daily stress to pump up your partner, friend, stranger, and or yourself.

It is time to acknowledge the good that is going on around us.

First let’s start with you. Sure, during covid you may have put on a few pounds (Well I have). It makes you look nonthreatening and Jolly. Alright I am just getting started. These compliments may not all be gold but it will get you thinking on the right side of uplifting our energy.

Try making a game out of it. Make a goal to compliment 5 people today and… not expecting one back. They are all freebees.

Here is a little tid bit to keep in mind. If you see someone who is out and about at work or in a grocery store and you see that they took some time to put themselves together to go out. Maybe they have make up on, they are not wearing pajamas, They did their hair, compliment them! They put a lot of work into their appearance and clearly takes pride in it. That is a low hanging fruit of compliments, meaning that is an easy one.

Say things like…

“I love how you did your hair”. “I like the color of your hair”. I am bald so clearly none of these would work for me, but you get the idea.

Here are some more.

“I love your smile; it brightens up the room”.

“I like your nails”.

“You have a beautiful voice”.

“Thank you for opening up the door”.

You can brainstorm a million of these. Ok even if it’s 5-10 you can reuse them every day.

Also, when in doubt… Smile! We have something called mirroring neurons in our brain that will mirror the face we look at. If you smile people will smile back at you. It really does happen. Also, oxytocin is released you your body which helps with connection but also less stress.

Complimenting someone can go a long way in making their day brighter. It is a simple yet effective way of showing appreciation and kindness towards someone. Compliments can make people feel valued and boost their self-esteem.
