NEVER forget how good it feels to hear something positive about yourself. Share the Love!

You know that feeling you get when someone comments on how great you look? Or when you see the facebook/instagram “likes” piling up on your notification screen/feed?

Yeah…you know you do. We can all relate on this one.

Think about how good that simple bit of positive affirmation feels. You don’t hate it…right? Thought so.

The next time you experience a similar spurt of joy, make a point to notice and appreciate the gesture – whatever it may be. Did it make a difference in your day?

Here’s where I’m going with this. Notice how simple it is to “brighton” (ha! pun intended, of course) someone’s day. Appreciate and take note of the little acts of kindness that you experience each day and do what you can to “share the love.”

I’m not suggesting you be fake or annoyingly positive/complementary or anything; but if you have the opportunity to say something positive about someone, do it. Don’t hesitate. Because odds are, she’s thinking something negative about herself and your words/actions might be just what she needs to hear. (however insignificant it may seem to you!)

Our minds are constantly running. All day. Every day. And our inner-selves (you know, that voice in your head) are continuously chattering about this and that…and her…and him…and them..etc etc. And I know some of those thoughts are bound to be positive. So next time you’re checking out that stranger in the whole foods check out line…tell her you really like her hair/dress/whatever (when she catches you staring!) and that she looks awesome.

We all have opinions – positive and negative. And we’re all constantly observing the world around us. Hopefully, this post will encourage you to share the positive ones and share the love.
