You may feel thoughtful and considerate of others today, which could inspire you to give compliments freely and make others feel good about themselves. A good way to build on this mood is to spend some time feeling good about yourself also. You could do something nice for yourself, like indulge in a massage, spend time window-shopping, or slip away for some quiet meditation to foster a serene mind-set. While you are being generous with compliments and kind words, you can also direct some toward yourself today and further enhance your high spirits. You might give yourself a pat on the back for a well-done job, flaunt your best features, or spend some time acknowledging your strongest talents and skills.

Treating ourselves kindly makes us feel happy, lighthearted, and generous in our interactions with others. Most of us love to be generous and kind to the people in our lives, but we often forget to direct a little tender loving care to ourselves. We may worry that we're being selfish or that the time we devote to ourselves will somehow detract from the energy we have available for others, but the reverse is usually true. When we make a point of treating ourselves kindly, both with words and actions, we feel energetic and joyful, which strengthens our eagerness to reach out to others and share our joy through kind gestures and compliments. If you direct some loving kindness to yourself today, the generosity you direct to others will be intensified.
