Self Image: When was the last time you looked at another person and thought you liked their hair, eyes, and/or body shape? I would bet it hasn't been that long. We do it almost every day. When was the last time you looked in the mirror and thought I don't like my hair, eyes, and/or body type? Was it this morning? We do this everyday! Why do we see the positive features in others and pick out the negative in ourselves? It is the endless cycle of never being content with who we are. Now, you would think I was going to tell you to go look in the mirror and speak positive over yourself. No, I want to take this in an entirely different direction.
I want you to take a moment and tell those people you see every day, what you admire about them. Be honest and sincere. Don't just go around throwing out compliments you don't mean. Next time you are in the women's bathroom and you catch someone's eye in the mirror, tell them what you like about them. Why am I having you compliment others and just not focus on being positive with yourself? I can guarantee that you are the other person that we have all been staring at, you just don't know it. And why do I know this? Simple, we are not all looking at the same person correct? We are looking at each other.

Wow, this is great advice! I love it. Funny, just the other day I was feeling pretty crappy about my hair. I was in a restaurant and our waitress had the most adorable haircut, one that would never work on me. I decided to tell her how much I loved it, because I know how much it means to women to be complimented by other women. I don't know why, but it's such a morale booster to hear! Maybe because we hold our compliments to ourselves all too often. It's certainly good to share, and it made me feel good seeing the waitress' appreciation of a compliment!
I love this advice. I know that when we give another person a compliment or do something good for them, then we also feel good about ourselves.
