Say the good part out loud

The skill of celebration  ·  name: ______________  ·  date: ________

A general compliment can be pleasant, but a specific affirmation helps someone understand what we noticed and valued. Naming a thoughtful action, a useful contribution or a quality we have genuinely seen can help appreciation feel sincere rather than automatic.
