National Compliment Day, which is celebrated today, is a great way to spread positive energy to yourself and others.

First, look in a mirror and stare deep into your own eyes. Take a deep breath and exhale. Take another deep breath and, as you exhale, say:
You are amazing.

Repeat that until you believe it.

As you go about your day, find reasons to give people compliments, be they family, coworkers, or strangers. It could be anything from "I love that color on you" to "You did a great job on that project" to "What a lovely cup of tea you made. Thank you!"

Do this without expecting anything in return. Revel in the joy of telling someone something good. Before bedtime, look in the mirror again and say:
You are extraordinary.

Repeat it until you feel it.
