January 24 - "Give 5 Away!"

Welcome to National Compliment Day!
May I say that you're looking especially good today, not to mention I love what you've done with your hair! By the way... Your breathe smells minty fresh and you've never looked thinner!


It's time to start brushing up on your complimenting skills because January 24th is National Compliment Day... not that you would have anything to worry about with your eloquent conversational skills. 


To celebrate Compliment Day, simply launch sincere flattery attacks on random people throughout the day, especially those who wouldn't expect it.  To give yourself a challenge, compliment your boss or people that you don't like.


The key, of course, is sincerity.  


It's amazing that such a small, simple skill like giving away compliments can change the way you view yourself and the world around you. It will strengthen your relationships, boost your self-esteem, and increase your self-confidence. You will experience joy and happiness as you learn to give selflessly.


Each time you give a compliment, you focus completely on the other person. You actively look for positive traits or attributes and specific examples. By doing this on a regular basis (5 times a day), you begin to see how richly multifaceted people really are. People's positive traits jump out at you. Your thought processes shifts from looking for the worst in people to looking for the best. Being proactive spills over into your life. You see the possibilities, not the obstacles. Compliment giving is a jump-start for looking at the world in a positive, refreshing, stimulating, and creative way.


Complimentday.com suggests that you try to compliment 5 people and provides a list of sample compliments for those who struggle with the art of flattery.  So "Give 5 Away"  Today!
