Ok – so I told my partner who is dieting that regardless of what weight they are, I think they are still very attractive. I think he is still laughing at me at this point. Lesson learned – perhaps I don’t compliment enough that when I do, it seems like I am joking.
I told a coworker that when I pass her in the hallway and she’s always smiling that it really lifts my mood and helps me have a more positive attitude. The way she does her job (which is a pretty thankless job–mind you) with such passion and eagerness is contagious. When I told her all of this, she had tears in her eyes. It made me realize that maybe what I assumed she already knew was something that was really validating for her to hear.
I did a couple of things today that I’m proud of. For one, I complimented a math teacher with whom I’ll be working this summer and told her that she has such a great bubbly/outgoing personality. I asked her if she had any tips for me as to how to initially come off that way to the kids I’ll be working with. I hope she’ll be able to help me! The second thing I did that wasn’t so much of a compliment, but was more of a help is telling the camp director to feel free to move other kids into my writing class since I have so few 2nd period. He asked if he could move in a kid who has some issues with anxiety and Asperger’s and I told him I’d be happy to have him and help diffuse any situations that arise. ~ Remy
thats really niicee ;Dx
My mother always taught me that it is important to tell people about the things that you like about them. Too often we take for granted the nice things that people do…and we are apt to criticize too easily. I try to make a conscious effort to say aloud the nice things that I think to myself.
As I was thinking about how I would fulfill this challenge today, I got an email from a friend of mine who used to be my personal trainer. He was responding to my email that I had just sent…his comment was, “Aww…you are so sweet.” At that moment, I realized that I had fulfilled the challenge without even knowing it. In my email to him, I had told him that since I stopped training with him, I had missed him, his positive influence and his encouragement…which had meant so much to me. It was a great moment when I realized that my mom’s advice had truly become a part of my daily routine.
I started my day in a terribly cranky mood, so I called a friend and told her how much I missed her because when we spend time together, she makes me laugh and feel good about myself. She said she was feeling the same way and we made plans to get together this week, which was an instant positive response to this challenge! Then I came to work and made a point of telling my manager how much I appreciate him and the little things he does for me that mean so much (like buying the soda I like for the common kitchen)…And then I told everyone about this experiment and they are all depending on me to tell them the daily challenges so that we can all take part. I may have started my day on the wrong foot, but I already fill like I am finishing it on the right one!
So I did this for my best friend. I told my partner/boyfriend/no ring husband that I gave up little things like seeing the Harry Potter moves and haunted hayrides to move to Canada for him because that is how much I loved him. He responded, and I quote, “gag, gag, vomit”. guess my sincere compliment didn’t go over quite as I expected. Well, I tried!
I wrote a thank you card for a gift I received a few weeks ago and in the note told her how the gift, a book that she had written, was extremely powerful and inspirational. She in turn gave me a huge hug and thanked me for my sincere love and kindness. It was amazing fast and easy it was to write the note and how much I actually got out of it in return.
ps. I love the 30 day challenge idea! this is awesome!!
I was at an event tonight where a lot of people were trying to fulfill this challenge; it was really fun to watch people giving sincere compliments to each other…it definitely caused a lot of smiles.
I didn’t really compliment anyone today but made dinner for my husband’s recently widowed grandfather. He had so much company over the past 3 years because his wife was battling Alzheimer’s and now I think of him roaming around their big old house alone. But here’s the crazy thing – it was just me who was thinking of him yesterday – he had four other visitor’s…on a week day! Isn’t it weird that so many of us decided to drop in on him on the same day?!?
I complimented a man this morning on his shirt, which was an absolutely gorgeous shade of purple. He smiled and said, “Thank you.”
I told my best friend that she’s the best friend any girl could have and that if I lost her tomorrow that life would be devistating.
The smile on her face was undescribable and I feel so happy that I could tell how great of a friend she has been to me since I came to my new school a couple years back.
ahhh how is it to work>?
This challenge was an easy one bc I have had something to say since this morning to my husband. He has been dieting, and we are really seeing results. As with many men after age 30 whom do not participate in a lot of physical activity, he grew a very large “daddy belly.” I call it a daddy belly bc it was not created by beer. He and I have been seriously changing our lifestyle for the past two weeks, and I am so proud of his determination. I told him that the weight loss we have observed on the scale is showing. After I told him that he has lost weight, he said thanks you, and that he felt his shirts were getting baggy. So, my sincere compliment helped him realize he is on the right track, and reinforced his will to continue. It helped me realize that I should have complimented him more in the past, and have not. This challenge has helped me realize how important it is to inform others of the positive things you think, but do not always express verbally. It felt great to see him so happy:-)
I told my Daughter that she is the most beautiful person in the world. And that she is my everything.
I told my friend Johnny that ” I am so happy that we are still friends and after we been through we stuck together and are still here for each other and any girl would be lucky to have him, and he changed my life, and that I am highly grateful to know him..He hasn’t replied yet.
I told my husband that he was 1 of the most important people in my life. And i also told my children the same.
I told my mother how wonderful of a person she was and how thankful i was to have such an amazing mother to look up to
I told my mother that she was wonderful and she was really happy
I am gonna tell my fat brotha he looks like he has lost a couple pounds (like 1pound). brb

Me: Brother?
*He looks at me*
Me: You look like you lost a couple pounds…or just 1
*Looks at me like I’m crazy and mouths the words ‘What the hell’*
That was fun!
