We are all running a mile a minute. Although I say that, what I mean is I am mentally running a mile a minute, sitting at my desk all day…..
It is so easy to not stop and acknowledge a compliment given to you. If someone took the time to share positive feedback, don’t underestimate the value of that compliment. What were they saying? Were you aware you were viewed that way, or that good? Stop, reflect, and for a moment embrace it.
It takes effort to reach out and provide feedback, both good and bad. Be sure to thank the person sharing, but also take the time to pat your back, you’re doing something good. I often find the compliments come my way when I feel like I am overwhelmed, overworked, or just not in the right head space. So, when the compliment comes my way- I take a pause, reflect, and often the words were said exactly at the right time and are exactly what I needed to hear.
