Can I Give You a Compliment? Maybe

Reflections on habit #23 in my journey

I like handing out compliments. I hate complimenting someone arbitrarily because I am trying to make a habit of it.

My goal for this habit was to learn to regularly look for a way to compliment others around me by giving at least one compliment to someone in person each day. A fine goal but putting it into practice felt very artificial.

I think giving compliments is not well suited to being a daily habit. I’m all about looking for the positive and being generous with compliments but forcing out one a day did not work for me.

I will not be continuing this habit, bringing me to 17 out of 23.
