Daily Practices to Prevent Hardening of the Attitudes
Daily Practice: Compliments--Look for the good in others and take
time to tell them about it.
Remember to look for the good in YOU, too!
Discussion Point:
• To give a compliment is a way to give praise.
• When we compliment someone, we are:
• Reinforcing a strength they know about themselves
• Brings to their attention a strength they haven’t seen in
themselves yet
• In either situation, you are helping to build that person’s selfworth

you selected?
