I dare you to really, really, really accept a compliment. That means no saying "oh, but you're so much MORE [insert given compliment]", no arguing, and no feeling guilty about having somebody tell you that you're amazing! Listen to the words and think about what they mean. Think about why somebody felt compelled to say them. Then, once you're done, smile, let the warm fuzzies take you to a nice happy place, say thank you and pay it forward. That's it. That simple. Your only other job is to be wonderful. So get to it!
It's a beautiful day in Claremont. I'm going to continue sitting outside on the lawn in a bathing suit with friends and a root beer.
Much love!
compliments just make me feel awkward. i just go "uh-huh" smile, and move on
