Taking the time to compliment yourself on a daily basis contributes to your self-worth. Asserting your values and accomplishments to yourself is a healthy way to boost your self-esteem. The more you say positive things to yourself, the more you believe it's true. Eventually, your brain will reprogramme itself to think only good things about you. Positive self-talk can boost confidence, reduce stress, and improve your ability to face challenges in every day life.

A compliment is an expression of regard, admiration, praise, or respect, and receiving one can be very rewarding. It's reported that research shows that getting a sincere compliment can be the same positive boost as receiving cash. Speak to yourself with high honors. Every time you express a compliment it changes your mindset. Building your self-worth, pushing yourself to believe in yourself and being comfortable with who you are is the result.
