Compliments help us communicate the appreciation we feel toward one another. Focusing on and noticing the good qualities in the world around us gives our moods a boost all by itself. Plus, it is a kind of cognitive training, a training of attention. In addition, compliments amplify positivity, they not only deliver positive effects to others, those effects bounce back on us, ramping up the positive atmosphere we breath.
