In 1988, two women from New Hampshire, Kathy Chamberlin, and Debby Hoffyman, formulated this day as National Compliment Day to demonstrate the benefits of giving compliments. Even in the Psychology discipline, research has supported the positive effects of compliments. Not only do they allow you to interact with other people, but compliments also create positive environments, motivates people and it spreads happiness.<\/p>\n<p>Too scared to verbally give the compliment? Try writing it in note format or sending it as a message on social media. It is believed that if a person hears at eight compliments in a day, he or she is likely to have a boost in their self-confidence. With today\u2019s environment, a little love and a compliment is exactly what we need and can surely go a long way!<\/p>\n<p>So, find something to compliment and let it rip! I see people compliment all of the time; for their taste in fashion, their cool personality, an impressive action or accomplishment, or just for being authentically them. Or, call your mom or dad and tell them how wonderful they are. Don\u2019t be shy. Give complimenting a try!<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Posted by\u00a0Brandy Mmbaga Have you told someone how awesome they are today?
