    Say “Thank You” when you're receiving a


    compliment.

    We often ruin compliments by devaluing the statement or acting


    overly humble. Internally, you might think this prevents you from
    appearing arrogant or smug.

    The problem is that by deflecting the praise of a genuine compliment,


    you don't acknowledge the person who was nice enough to say
    something. Simply saying “Thank You” fully acknowledges the
    person who made the compliment and allows you to enjoy the
    moment as well.

    Example: “Your dress looks great.”

     Instead of: “Oh, this old thing? I've had it for years.”

     Try saying: “Thank you. I'm glad you like it.”

    Example: “Wow! 20 points tonight. You played really well in the


    game.”

     Instead of: “Yeah, but I missed that wide-open shot in the 3rd


    quarter.”

     Try saying: “Thank you. It was a good night.”

    Example: “You killed your presentation today!”


     Instead of: “Did I? I felt so nervous up there. I'm glad it looked
    alright.”

     Try saying: “Thank you. I'm happy it went well.”

    There is something empowering about fully accepting a compliment.


    When you deflect praise, you can't really own it. When you just say
    “Thank You,” you let the weight of the compliment sink in and
    become yours. Saying “Thank You” gives your mind permission to be
    built up by the compliments you receive.

    Getting compliments should be fun and enjoyable, but we often ruin


    the experience. There’s no need to sabotage compliments that come
    your way. Accept them with grace and enjoy the moment.
