Mark Twain said – I can live for two months on a good compliment.

We all want to feel valued. When we feel appreciated, we’re more likely to cooperate, collaborate, and deal constructively with issues that arise. This is true for any relationship.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around, a mood around, an impression or change someone’s outlook.

Compliment someone today. The wonderfulness of complimenting others is that it has a two fold impact. One is the boomerang effect. You get what you give. And it has a domino effect. Your act of kindness can energetically, circumnavigate the globe. Indeed, words are powerful vehicles for positive change.

So -If you see something beautiful in someone speak on it. Your words can change their world.

If you've ever met someone and immediately you felt a connection or there was something about them that made you want to get to know them more, that person is most likely someone who exudes presence. Presence is about being comfortable, passionate, authentic, confident, enthusiastic and captivating. Amy Cuddy, author of the book Presence: "Bringing Your Boldest Self to Your Biggest Challenges", shares that Presence stems from believing in and trusting yourself—your real, honest feelings, values, and abilities. That’s important, because if you don’t trust yourself, how can others trust you?

Do you know someone who always seems to jump to conclusions, and it causes a lot of confusion? Or they misinterpret a phrase and are convinced that you meant it in a certain way and that clearly wasn’t your intention. You’re not crazy. It’s possible that their thoughts are cognitive distortions which are ways the mind convinces us of something that isn't really true.

What you think and how you think matters. Consider these 3 distortions:

(1) Filtering -taking the negative details and magnifying them, while filtering out all positive aspects of a situation. (2) Polarized Thinking. This means things are either “black or white" with no shades of gray. (3) Jumping to Conclusions

Remember, what you think you become; what you feel you attract; what you imagine you create.

A hidden camera experiment was conducted to see if most people conform to the behaviors of others. The goal was to see if a woman (who was being monitored without her knowledge) would stand up at the sound of a tone simply because everyone else stood up. Surprisingly, after just 3 rounds of witnessing others stand up at the sound of the tone, she conformed perfectly to the group without even knowing why.

Jonah Berger of the University of PA explains that this internalized form of behavior is part of social learning which starts at a very early age. Conformity not only effects how you act, but similar forces are subconsciously shaping the way you think.

In the words of Maya Angelou, if you’re always trying to be normal, you’ll never know how amazing you can be. Break from the norm and be free.
