There is research that suggests that the human brain reacts to receiving a compliment in a similar fashion to that of being given money. The article suggested that using compliments is an easy and effective strategy to use in the classroom. It also stated that giving compliments can actually be a crucial component in finalizing a person's skill development. How many of us feel that immediate boost and positive feeling when someone compliments us? The irony is how easy it is to go days or even weeks without giving or receiving a compliment, so perhaps the final weeks of the school years we should make it a priority to compliment someone as a part of our daily routine.
Here are six important reasons for us to begin complimenting more.
- Compliments encourage others who are struggling
- A compliment can be all that stands between someone finding success or giving up
- Compliments help people learn new tasks
- Compliments strengthen and soften relationships
- Compliments increase our circle of influence
- Compliments help you become less cynical
My challenge to you is to purposefully look for opportunities to make someone's day with a compliment these final few weeks of the school year. Be authentic and sincere in your's and gracious and thankful if you receive a compliment for yourself. Let's have a great week.
