Accept Compliments Without Shrinking Yourself
Ever notice how easy it is to downplay your achievements or deflect a compliment? Even small gestures of recognition are worth accepting.
Consider this thought: A simple “thank you” can shift your mindset, help you embrace your worth, and honor how God sees you. God is so all-knowing that He even planned for your confidence to be strengthened by accepting a compliment! So, the next time somebody gives you a compliment, don’t shrink… don’t deflect… don’t downplay yourself to stay humble. Just say “Thank you” –and humbly receive it.
Simple Nutrition Tip That Can Help Boost Your Health
Sometimes our foods alone won’t give us all the nutrients we need. Realistically, we can’t eat 38 cups of this or 15 cups of that! After the first food, we’d be stuffed and worn out, with no room or desire to finish the rest on our plate.
That’s where supplements come in. They help fill in what your meals may not fully provide. It’s not about replacing whole foods but supporting what might be missing. For example, you may enjoy red bell peppers cooked in your meals and have strawberries in your smoothies, but it can still be difficult to reach the recommended amount. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that protects cells, supports immunity, supports wound healing, bones and blood vessels, and iron absorption. Plus, it can help fight the common cold. These small additions can make a big difference in how you feel each day. The brands I take are Bluebonnet, Now, and Garden of Life.
