Compliments are a simple, yet powerful, relationship-building tool. There are many different reasons to give a compliment. The most compelling - it makes you feel good. You cannot give a sincere compliment without feeling great. It's impossible. There are many hidden benefits to giving compliments. It's amazing that such a small, simple skill like giving away compliments can change the way you view yourself and the world around you. It will strengthen your relationships, boost your self-esteem, and increase your self-confidence. You will experience joy and happiness as you learn to give selflessly.
Each time you give a compliment, you focus completely on the other person. You actively look for positive traits or attributes and specific examples. By doing this on a regular basis (suggested 5 times a day), you begin to see how richly multifaceted people really are. People's positive traits jump out at you. Your thought processes shifts from looking for the worst in people to looking for the best. Being proactive spills over into your life. You see the possibilities, not the obstacles. Compliment giving is a jump-start for looking at the world in a positive, refreshing, stimulating, and creative way.Giving people compliments help young people’s self-image, their self worth. Compliments allow individuals to feel validated. I Am Authentic is a self-image campaign focused at young women and men. Through community outreach and monthly workshops IAA spreads its goals. Right now they are getting started in the Billings community by spreading their name through events. I Am Authentic believes that through loving yourself, you gain confidence, strength, and a beauty never before seen. Love is a powerful tool. Compliments build on that powerful tool.
