Building Mental Fitness One Compliment at a Time!


Listen Later

Can taking compliments improve your mental resilience? Can learning not to give someone the finger help conquer your negativity? Yes, according to our guest Colin C. Thompson.  In this episode, Colin will be your certified positive intelligence coach and take you on a journey to build mental fitness through small challenges. 


3 Key Takeaways:

  1. Change small and change often - make minor adjustments frequently rather than huge changes all at once. Start with small "wins" to build momentum.

  2. Accept compliments fully - repeat back the compliment, agree with it, and say thank you. This builds self-esteem.

  3. Be mindful of triggers - notice what upsets you and consciously decide not to react negatively. See difficult people as opportunities to practice staying calm.
