Happy Thanksgiving!
On this day of gratitude, I recommend one simple action to take that has been scientifically proven to create a feeling of well-being for you and another human being.(1)
This one action is to give someone a compliment.
The simple deed of giving a sincere acknowledgement to someone can give us a psychological and physiological boost.
Giving someone a compliment creates a “win-win” for both the giver and the receiver. They both benefit from improved mood, social bonding, and reduced stress–thanks to a combination of oxytocin, dopamine, endorphins, and decreased stress hormones.(2)
To genuinely acknowledge someone isn’t just kind—it’s powerful. To lift someone’s mood, or make them smile with just a kind word, is truly medicine that costs nothing.
I believe complimenting someone and making them feel better can create a positive ripple effect.
Today, on Thanksgiving, take a moment to give a heartfelt compliment or word of thanks to another person. It will make you feel so good.
With warmest regards,
Dr. Jill
