Hello everyone,
This week’s Motivational Monday theme is “say something nice”.
A few months ago, I came across a video called, “People react to being called beautiful”, created by Shea Glover. I had forgotten about it and it recently resurfaced. This video demonstrates the following:
- saying something nice can change someone’s day
- how uncomfortable people are with accepting compliments
- beauty is everywhere and so diverse

Lately, I feel like many of my conversations with people have started with complaints, meaningless small talk, and drama. It sets a negative tone for the day, which is exactly the opposite of what Motivational Mondays are all about. I think we should step out of the fog and embrace what’s important like “being kind to one another” (Thank you Ellen DeGeneres!).
This week, change someone’s day, embrace compliments even if you don’t believe them and notice one beautiful aspect of your environment, whether it be a person, place or thing.
Thanks mom and dad for always noticing the Be-Yoooou-Tiful moments,
Janine
