§ Today is World Compliment Day and   it is meant to spread joy through simple verbal affirmations of   appreciation – not physical but verbal. A compliment is expressing   admiration, compliments, encouragement, or respect. What better way to spread   love than to make someone feel good about themselves?

§ Essentially, complimenting someone   involves a verbal expression, rather than material gifts and it can really   make someone’s day. When you give a compliment, you show other people that   you appreciate all aspects of them – including appearance, actions, words,   etc

§ Those who give sincere,   genuine compliments are typically more likeable by others, which can go a   long way when wanting to succeed in your personal and professional life.   However, compliments can come off as creepy or unwelcome so ensure that the   compliments you give are in a positive way. Keep your agenda out of it.   Telling someone they are attractive because you genuinely want to tell them   is a good thing, telling them they are hot because you want to be intimate   with them does not come off as positive for most people.

§ When giving compliments,   sincerity is paramount. When you are not sincere, people know it and it comes   off very negatively.

§ One way of really sounding   genuine is attaching a compliment to something someone values or worked hard   on. Telling someone you really enjoyed reading something they wrote and WHY   you enjoyed it means a lot more than saying “good for you for writing   something”.

§ If there is something, they   are proud of or passionate about that is another good place to start when   giving compliments.

§ Also, make sure that your   compliments are specific rather than general.

§ Context is essential as well.   The right compliment in the right scenario can go a long way. In the wrong   context, a compliment can be taken the wrong way.

§ Many people are uncomfortable   receiving compliments, me being one of them. If you are one of these people,   normalize saying “thank you” when someone compliments you.

§ If you are looking for   examples of compliments, here are some ideas (you can find more here):   you're an awesome friend, I’m grateful for you, you look fantastic today, you   are strong, you are smart, I really like your perspective on “x”, your   kindness makes such an impact, I really appreciated how you handled that   situation, I love being around you, etc

§ TRY THIS: Write down what you genuinely appreciate   about people in your life and tell them.

§ POST IT NOTE: I will compliment others in an authentic way
