Make someone’s day with words!

Spread the love on April 16th, National Compliments Day!

This year Girlfriend magazine encourages you to pay it forward with a compliment because not only does giving a compliment make that person feel good, research shows it will brighten your mood, too!

Here’s what the Girlfriend readers told the Survey …

85 % of readers sometimes feel sad or depressed, compared to only 10 per cent who never feel depressed.
89 % say receiving a compliment makes your day
84 % admit that it feels great to pay someone else a compliment

96 % of you plan to pay someone a compliment this National Compliments Day.

“A compliment is a simple way to have an instant, positive effect on the lives of people around us. Giving a compliment can brighten your mood as much as receiving one – and they are free to give.
Lets encourage all Australians to join Girlfriend and pay forward a compliment this National Compliments Day.”
