I'm a member of challenge.meyouthhealth.com. Each day I receive an email suggesting a way to improve my physical/mental health. I'd like to share today's challenge with you.
How To Do It
Take a moment to tell someone a positive thing about a friend, family member, or co-worker that you have in common. It can be an observation about a special skill that he or she possesses, a remark about why the person is important to you, or a sweet anecdote about a time you two spent together.
Why It Matters
Although gossip gets a bad rap, studies have shown that certain kinds of gossip can actually be good for us. It can be a powerful way of strengthening bonds between friends and colleagues, and studies show that positive gossipers tend to feel a boost in their own self-esteem when engaging in this type of talk.
Fun Fact
Shakespeare was the first to use the word "gossip" as a verb. Prior to that, gossip referred to a woman who attended the birth of a family member or neighbor. Because it was considered a social event, women would gather and chat about the latest news.
KB's Challenge
I decided to put a twist on it. I'm going to say something positive about everyone who leaves a comment on this post and invite you to share something positive about me or anyone else you know who has left a comment.
See you tomorrow
Love KB
