A compliment a day keeps burnout away
They are doing an experiment: walking to people and tell them that they are beautiful. The result is captured on video and the faces are stunning. Everyone smiles. Shy. Proud. Happy.
Watching these clips even makes me smiling. Seeing happy people resonates within me and I get happy, too. Can you relate? When we smile during the day all of the sudden the tension of a moment is gone and life seems easier.
What if we could use this effect at work?
Last week I could see this effect on my colleagues, too. I actively looked at my colleagues‘ reaction when I had the chance to speak support, hope and encouragement in their lives. They all smiled.
Getting in contact with someone who has good and honest intentions for us opens our hearts and gives us a moment of relaxation. Having those moments at work gives back energy and people can progress in their day more energized. All that is needed is you. This one person that is watching out where to spend the next honest compliment or the next story of hope.
Let’s do a challenge this week: Find one person a day that smiles because of you.
