Celebrating Others.

This is something I'm trying to learn to do. I think one of the best ways is through words.

We can celebrate others by speaking kind words and offering encouragement. Try choosing someone you see every day. Commit to giving that person one compliment or some words of encouragement every day for a week. See if the person's mood or your relationship changes at all. See if you feel different.

Luckily, you don't have to do this face-to-face if you think it would embarrass one or both of you. Send an E-mail each day. Or buy seven cards, and write your warm words in each. Some people prefer objects like cards that they can keep and return to anyway.

Next, choose another person. Notice the differences. How easily did the words come? How sincere were you--or were you just being nice?

Then, do the same for yourself. Give yourself some compliment (allow it!) of affirmation each day. See if being kind to yourself makes giving kind words to others easier.
