Stimulating other people is an important part of family, group and community life. Everyone is doing their best in this world, and sometimes a warm word of encouragement can help others realize that they are not alone. Moreover, support is a way to show appreciation for the good things people do and to inspire them to do more. Success recognition confirms that people and their efforts mean a lot to you, whether you know the person or not. Take some time today to encourage someone who comes your way.

Steps

1. 1 Encourage even small accomplishments. Small successes may seem small, but for the person who achieves them, recognizing their efforts can make a big difference. This may be enough to motivate you to keep going. It may even be a way to turn a small achievement into something larger.
2. 2 Stop looking for flaws and encourage the right thing. Petty nagging and projecting our own insecurities and irritation onto others makes it difficult for us to notice the right things people do. By noticing that a job is done well, and by reducing the importance of the points we don't like or enjoy, we increase the likelihood that we will see correct behavior and feedback more often. Water the flowers if you want them to grow, instead of feeding the weeds.
3. 3 Look for visible ways to reward the person. Asterisks or smiling faces affect children. Badges, certificates, gifts, or marks are good ways to reward employees, colleagues, friends, students, family members, and more. A photo of both of you doing something good as a memory and recognition can be a terrific way to motivate someone and show your appreciation for their efforts.
4. 4 Discard negative reactions. Don't frown or sulk. Also, such physical evidence is low ratings or nasty comments left online. There is always room for improvement - most people are always aware of this - but there is no room for swearing or criticism with mean intent; You may feel smart from time to time, but the barbs leave a long mark without doing any good. Think positively, not aggressively - be careful with your emotions if you do not want to humiliate someone because of your irritation and inner disharmony. Deal with the source of this condition, rather than transfer the negativity to others.
5. 5 Praise people. Tell your child something like “your job was very neat”, “You did a brilliant research on this topic, amazing.” Tell people how well they did something, confronted their fears, overcame difficulties, and excelled at the little things.Even if you dislike a person or consider him your competitor, there is always at least one thing that you genuinely like about him, so look for it and tell the person about it - remember that this can cause more positive and less things that annoy you !
6. 6 Write motivating comments. It doesn't matter if it is about work, about a friend's review, about a child's homework or other feedback, leave approving and constructive comments. Understating someone's work can be enjoyable, but it leads to a drop in the person's confidence and does not provide the right direction for improvement.
   • Instead of a negative assessment, give the following comments (to the child): “I really liked how you did it, I’m sure next time you will succeed absolutely right” or “You did a great job, did everything well. Next time I would advise concentrate more on X, Y and Z to make sure the whole document looks coherent. " You might say that it is possible to clarify and improve, the difference is in the way you present it.
7. 7 Say good things about the people themselves. People love to hear that you perceive them positively; we are often the harshest critics of ourselves, and hearing that someone else refutes our concerns is very motivating to us. For example, you can emphasize how kind, caring, helpful, considerate, punctual, thoughtful, innovative, etc. Try to highlight specific examples that, in your eyes, reflect why this person is showing these traits, this will help the other person to see that you are sincere.
8. 8 Celebrate when someone is doing something good. While we admire the way people look or dare to look and act, we are often silent. This is unfortunate, as it allows the development of a malevolent, isolated culture, which is so extolled by the tabloids and promoted to the central plane. To avoid such attacks, you need to move to using compliments instead. When you do this regularly, you act as a role model, showing you how to empower people instead of humiliating them.
   • For example, you can tag a person's clothes or haircut by simply saying, “I like your style of dress” or “I like your hair.”
9. 9 Be honest, be real. People know the truth about themselves. Therefore, they will feel when you are flattering, rather than giving a compliment from the heart. Flattery is not a sincere form of praise; it is usually used when they want something from a person or want to motivate him in order to hurt him later. Train yourself to give only sincere compliments, and you will leave behind gossip and comments of this nature.
10. 10 Bite your tongue if you feel angry. We all get angry sometimes, often when we are tired, exhausted, hungry, or humiliated in some way. It happens, and it's part of our life to learn to deal with bad moods and tough times. Learning not to get lost in public and say negative and demotivating things in order to get rid of everyone is one of the important life lessons. Instead, you can cheer the person up or just keep quiet until you come to your senses.
    • If you went too far (who didn't?), Apologize. This will ensure that you are behaving correctly. You cannot force the other person to forgive you or forget what you did, but by doing so, you can always correct the situation and continue in a more constructive and honest manner. Lesson complete. Move on.
11. 11 Maintain an optimistic outlook. The glass is more likely half full than half empty. Each of us feels negative from another person. As our mother taught us, "If you have nothing good to say, don't say anything at all."

Tips

• Stop yourself when you start to think that people should behave in a certain way.People are who they are, and we must accept them. No one expects you to get along well with the types of people you are incompatible with; all that is required of you is politeness and respect for someone else's dignity. You may find something good in people you don't get along with anyway, just look closely.
• Beware of intrusiveness. It may seem like you're telling the person “what's really going on” and what they “should” or “shouldn't” do just for their own good, but more often than not, this is perceived as arrogance and demotivating. Instead, strive to respect the people you do business with and keep "shoulds" to a minimum; so you get around sharp corners.
• Praise is about seeing the best in people. If you are prone to pessimism, it will take you longer to master this skill, but don't give up - anyone can learn it. Over time, with constant practice, you will stop seeing only the bad in people and become a more motivating person, ready to support people.
