<p>Doesn't it feel good to be told something positive about yourself and vice versa if you notice something positive about others?</p><p>So why wouldn't we compliment each other more often?</p><p>In this episode, what with it being nearly Christmas, we use the metaphor that <a href="https://sketchplanations.com/compliments-are-gifts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">compliments are gifts</a> - and not one you'd pick out of a lucky dip. These gifts have been made and wrapped especially for you. There's your name on the label and everything!</p><br><p>Not only do we offer advice on noticing when you could give compliments more regularly, we discuss the etiquette in receiving compliments and make Tom feel very awkward with a little complimentary experiment!</p><p>We apply our theories to the usual work, home and play scenarios and ponder why compliments from our parents mean so much.</p><br><p><strong><u>Get in Touch</u></strong></p><p>How do you feel about compliments? Regular giver or a bit shy? How well do you receive a compliment?</p><p>And if you want to rise to the challenge laid out in this episode and give 5 compliments you wouldn't have given otherwise in the next 2 weeks, then let us know how you get on.</p><ul><li>email us: <a href="mailto:[email protected]" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">[email protected]</a></li><li>OR <a href="https://podpage-api.herokuapp.com/sketchplanations-the-podcast/voicemail/popup/?from=https://podcast.sketchplanations.com/#" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">leave us a voice note</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong><u>Reference Links</u></strong></p><p>In this episode we also reference:</p><ul><li>Previous Podcast Episodes: <a href="https://podcast.sketchplanations.com/5-ways-to-wellbeing/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">5 Ways to Wellbeing</a> and <a href="https://podcast.sketchplanations.com/quickfire-round-words-and-language/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Words & Language sketches compilation</a> (@48m25 <a href="https://sketchplanations.com/compliment-and-complement" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Compliment v Complement</a>)</li><li>Jono's sketch on how to <a href="https://sketchplanations.com/accept-compliments" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Accept Compliments</a></li><li>Jono's sketch on <a href="https://sketchplanations.com/give-gifts-others-can-give" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Giving gifts others can give</a></li><li>Jono's sketch on <a href="https://sketchplanations.com/extrinsic-motivation" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Extrinsic motivation</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p>All music on this podcast is provided by the very talented <a href="https://www.franccinelli.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Franc Cinelli</a>.</p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
