Compliment three people every day

i don’t necessarily compliment three people everyday.
but whenever i see something i like about someone, i tell them.
sometimes, it might be a couple of days before i dish out a compliment.
other times, i might give out five a day!
it all depends really.
i think the most important part is to be sincere.
or at the very least, look it.

i’ve been doing pretty good at this.
especially when i’m at work – i see so many people.
at school i usually dish out a couple too.

sometimes i think about this during the day but never find someone to compliment.
i don’t want to compliment people without being sincere, but sometimes i do anyway because i know it makes them feel good.

If I can do this for three months straight I will count it as “done”. I haven’t even been able to do three days yet though. It’s always nice to be complimented, especially if the person means it. I get complimented on my hair all the time – I admit, I have cool hair.

But – it makes you feel good, any day, but especially on a crap day. Why is it so hard?

Just kidding. I am trying – it’s part of a whole turning over a new leaf and not being so judgemental thing I’m doing anyway.

I am going to keep trying.

It’s a small thing that can make a difference in someone’s day. I’m going to try it for a few months, and see how I do.

i’m excited to get started on this.
i love complimenting people.
even if they are strangers.
i love seeing them smile afterwards.

besides the fact that i forget about this goal for months at a time, i just never see anything worthy of complimenting!

i almost told a guy at the post office today that i liked his nose. it was so big.

so I am giving it up in favor of something else.

I was trying to compliment people that I normally wouldn’t, but I was failing at that. So I tried to compliment 3 students a day, that mostly came down to “Good job” and “Nice sweater”. I suck at compliments, which is why I chose this goal. I may come back to it in the future, but for now….
I give up.

1 “Happy Valentine’s Day, you look great in that red sweater!” – (To myself)
2 “I like your shirt!” – (To my co-worker who was wearing a “This Was The Worst Present Ever” shirt on his birthday)
3 “These are delicious. You did a great job!” (To my co-worker on the homemade chocolate covered strawberries she brought in.)

at this one. I guess you could count what I say to my students, but not really. I gotta try harder to compliment people I wouldn’t normally or on things I wouldn’t comment on usually.
