Hey there my friends,

Ever notice how one small compliment can change your whole mood? This week, we’re diving into the light, fun, and surprisingly powerful world of genuine acknowledgment — from “Your dog thinks you’re the coolest human on Earth” to “You make coffee look like an art form.” We’ll talk about what science says happens in your brain when you give or receive a compliment — and how that ties directly to your Project Weight Loss journey.

Join me for a feel-good, episode on connection, kindness, and the effects of a few good words.

Quote of the week:

“There is nothing so rewarding as to make people realize that they are worthwhile.” — Bob Anderson

Sharing 10 compliments you can give that are—kind, light, and fun.

1.    “Your dog clearly thinks you’re the coolest human on Earth — and I agree.”

2.    “Your plant looks so happy — you must have a green thumb and good energy.”

3.    “You tell stories like a pro — I could listen all day.”

4.    “You make that coffee look like a whole experience.”

5.    “You’ve got a calm confidence — it’s grounding just being near you.”

6.    “That color looks like it was made for you.”

7.    “You could make a spreadsheet sound exciting.”

8.    “You have such a curious mind — it’s refreshing.”

9.    “You radiate warmth — like a human cozy blanket.”

10.“I love how you always find something kind to say — that’s real leadership.”
