Amy I love this I started practicing this about a year ago and am so smooth at accepting compliments now…and even those on the critical side, I still say “thank you”. There are messages everywhere and how can I hear them if I don’t stop to listen. Doesn’t mean I have to take them on or believe them but I have a choice. Ultimately, those I used to find the hardest to take, the really nice ones…the more I say thank you, the easier it is to believe them. Where i used to scoff at a compliment, now they fill me with a sense of warmth, just like receiving a real tangible gift So simple, just say ‘thank you’
