A practice I highly recommend, that few people have tried: keep a list of the most meaningful compliments people have given you, review it at periodic intervals, or when you could use a boost.
Why discard these valuable things in the leaky waste bin we call memory?
The flip side of this, of course, is: if you have a meaningful and genuine compliment to give, then don’t forget to tell the person who it’s about! What a loss not to do so.
Thank you to those of you who have contributed to my list, I’ve benefited many times over from your thoughtfulness!
What a good reminder! I am going to start a list in my workflowy app where I organize my life. Thanks so much. Consider this a compliment!!
