I don’t think a day goes by that someone doesn’t come up to me and say something nice about Elegant Island Living. Getting positive feedback always gives us a feeling of pride and accomplishment. With all of the craziness and uncertainty of 2020, it feels like praise may be in short supply. So why not be one of the people who supplies it? Here are some great reasons to start spreading that praise around like it’s red and black confetti on GA/FL weekend:
Everyone craves acknowledgement and appreciation. When you commend others, you satisfy that craving and build trust in the process.
You’ll instantly brighten another person’s day. You have the power to make someone feel better about themself with just a few words. That’s pretty awesome!
Genuine recognition rewards effort and accomplishment, reinforces positive behaviors, builds self-esteem and confidence, and boosts enthusiasm. Consider it magic motivation!
Unexpected praise, like a gift given “just because,” can be even more powerful and make a bigger impact. Leave a sticky note for a coworker. Compliment that stranger in the store.
Giving praise will also make you feel better about yourself, because few things are as rewarding as lifting up someone else and having a positive effect in their life.
Plenty of people you know deserve recognition. Employees. Vendors. Customers. Friends. Family. Even casual acquaintances. Maybe they went above and beyond on a task or traveled beyond that extra mile. Show your gratitude. Don’t say you’re too busy or that it’s too much trouble. Don’t shrug it off as someone else’s job. Empower with praise and make a positive difference in another person’s life today!
On that note, thanks to our readers for being our biggest fans and champions. We think you’re the best!
The EIL family wishes you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving! And GO DAWGS!
