How good are you at taking a compliment?

Did you know that batting back a compliment is like batting away positive energy, good vibes, whatever your similar choice of words. This is good energy directed your way! Take it!

Good vibes from compliments are yours for the taking.

Most of us were great at taking a compliment as a kid. But then life happens and that often changes. Most people I know as adults aren’t great at taking compliments. You look great today might be batted back with no I don’t, my hair’s a mess and I haven’t got any make-up on. Why not just say thanks and feel good about it? Why not accept those good vibes? I’m so bad at this myself.

The level at which we believe our response will also impact how many good vibes get through. The more we believe we don’t look good, the fewer good vibes sink in. So why not open the floodgates to all the good vibes that come your way? Words are powerful. Whether we mean them or not. Words carry a vibration. And energy. By the way, you look great today.

How often do you pay yourself a compliment? How often do you criticise yourself? What type of energy are you creating within yourself? If you’re not already aware then maybe reading this will help you notice which way your balances are tipped. Are you giving yourself and emotional boost or bringing yourself down?

Good vibes from compliments can feel weird to accept. But it does get easier and feel more natural after a while. In fact, it feels great. And why shouldn’t it?

I naturally compliment people because most of what I think comes out of my mouth. I see someone wearing nice trousers and if we happen to make eye contact then I say ‘I like your trousers’. Simple. And it gives people a good feeling. Compliments are great!

Energy is moving around the whole time as words are spoken. It’s up to us whether we make it positive or negative. And it’s up to us whether we accept the good vibes from compliments. Free will and all of that.

Love and light x
