Compliments Not About Physical Appearance

Complimenting people is awesome – not only does the recipient get a burst of confidence, but you walk away with the warm and fuzzies that can only come from making someone else happy. I try to dish out at least three genuine compliments to those around me a day, but I’ve been noticing that most of my compliments are about physical appearance. “You look really pretty today.” “Oh my gosh I love your sweater.” “Your makeup is on point!” You know the routine – because you probably do it too! Don’t get me wrong, these are still amazing compliments, but I’d like to start getting into the habit of complimenting people on their other outstanding qualities besides their physical appearance.

Some of the most memorable compliments people have given me weren’t about my appearance at all – things about my drive, my passion, or my perseverance – and damn did they feel good. Ready to make someone’s day? I’ve got fistfuls of awesome compliments for you to dish out, none of which are about physical appearance!
