Beginning prior to the due date, give three compliments a day for 3 days straight. One to your significant other (or best friend), one to someone else that you know (this does not have to be the same person each day) and the third one to a stranger. Complete this everyday. Note: These compliments must be genuine.
After doing this for the 3 days straight, report on the following:
Was this an easy or difficult task for you? Why?
Did it affect your relationship with your significant other (best friend)? How? Be specific. What was it like to compliment a stranger? How did the stranger receive the compliment?
What happened with “someone else that you know?” Did you discern any change in the recipient’s stress level?
How did this compliment assignment affect your stress level?
Your assignment should be a well thought-out two-page paper. The questions above should be incorporated into appropriate written expression.
