Regardless of what the official name is, be sure to set March 1st aside as one of the “Fun Holidays” to reflect on all the people who matter most to you and who would love to be noticed for the ways in which they enrich your life.

Let’s go all out for this special holiday in a powerful way by making it our job to share our joy, gratitude, admiration, and heartfelt compliments with the people and relationships we spend a majority of our time with!

Not sure how to do spread happiness and fully celebrate this most important of holidays?

Well, I’ve got some wonderful, creative ideas to celebrate Compliment Day in a few different ways!

1. Give Praise and Recognition to Others

Although National Compliment Day is technically an unofficial holiday, I think it’s one that should definitely be celebrated wide and far!

A. LOVED ONES

One super simple way is to simply share a sincere compliment verbally or in writing to the people in your life that you admire.

Whether it’s in your home, workplace, neighborhood, your family, friends, and coworkers would all appreciate hearing a kind word.

Simply making an effort to notice the loved ones around you and sharing words of appreciation could really brighten someone’s day!

It’s amazing what a powerful effect being the recipient of a kind word and being complimented can do to make a difference in a positive way!

Another easy way to spread some kindness and appreciation is to leave a heartfelt & sincere handwritten note to those who share their gifts with us and fill our life with love.

So take a moment and take inventory of each person who makes our daily lives better…is it a friend, spouse, co-workers, or children, and spend today giving them your recognition and admiration!

I promise you, they will be delighted to hear how they have been a positive force in your life and that you don’t take them for granted! A genuine compliment can make a huge difference in someone’s self-esteem and sense of meaning.

B. RANDOM STRANGERS

Another way to celebrate National Compliment Day is to share appreciation and compliments to a person you do not know!
