National Compliment Day (January 24th)
HOW TO GIVE COMPLIMENTS:
I like your....
I love your...
What a nice...
That's a nice...
Nice...
Cool...
National Compliment
Day is January 24th…
did you know that?
I plan to give out as
many compliments I possibly can! Sit down and think about the last time you
complimented someone. Your parents, your siblings, your wife/husband, your best
friend… for me, it has been a while. Here’s five simple ways you can
celebrate National Compliment Day.
1.)
COMPLIMENT YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS
My family
and I clash heads a lot but they each have qualities that I love about them.
Take time out today to compliment each of your family members. Let your sister
know she has great hair. Tell your brother he did a great job. Tell your
cousins they are awesome. If you can’t see them in person, pull out your cell
phone and text them or leave them a message on their Facebook profile.
2.) COMPLIMENT YOUR FRIENDS
Call or
text your best friend and remind them why you love them. Leave a compliment on
your friends’ Facebook profile picture. If you bump into an old friend when
you’re out and about, tell them how fabulous they look.
3.) COMPLIMENT YOUR
PARENTS
They
probably deserve compliments from you the most! Remind them that they are doing
a great job. My mom has been struggling lately and I know that they simplest
compliment means a lot to her.
4.) COMPLIMENT YOURSELF
Trust me,
you need it. You’re fabulous, you’re special and you deserve your own
compliments. Instead of critiquing yourself in the mirror, tell yourself that
you’re beautiful (even if your are wearing your pijamas).
