Episode 186: The best way to receive a compliment
Summary
For some folks, it’s harder to accept a compliment than criticism. In this episode, I’ll discuss a trick I use to receive compliments without embarrassment or vanity. Basically, I flexibly shift my perspective to join with the complimenter in appreciation of whatever is being complimented. By doing so, I can share in the experience of appreciation without being a passive receptacle for praise. And this is important because receiving a compliment well can be a gift to the complimenter.
