Good idea, and yes, we don’t hear the positives often. Maybe though we do and just focus or register the overwhelming amount of negative?
I’ve been told my sunny disposition was irritating so it is very hard to please everyone for sure. I recall three years ago my boss asking me “not to change but to try not to laugh during meetings”, so I alter my impulsiveness and definitely my laughter during business hours in front of others. My suggestion is to be generous to others with those compliments and hopefully it comes back to you in some form of appreciation for your efforts. I am a “thank you” freak and tell most everyone they are doing a good job in my daily routine, i.e. the coffe shop, my lunch haunts, the dry cleaner, and so on. My assitant thinks she walks on water, although far from, but it certainly improves her response time and quality of work by acknowledging her in a positive way. For me personally, I have a tiny recordable bear that my sister recorded a message and I play it when I need a mood bump. Also at a family gathering I had my favorite people record the vioces stating the time with a funny message and it is a loving reminder some one out there believes in you.
So Munchkin GOOD JOB for the request and creating a positive stream! It was a good idea.
