One day, out of the blue, a stranger, that you literally just met, speaks these words of praise to you:
“You, as your name*, radiate light and authenticity, your smile and your facial expressions emit faith of your pursuit of Nia and of a natural lifestyle: it shines from your eyes.”
How would you react? Would it be with:
♦ Denial ? ♦ Embarrassment ? ♦ Excitement ?
Nobody says anything good anymore! Praise is obscure, even obsolete. It is all too easy for us, especially us Israelis, to complain loudly about all obstacles in our path. Furthermore, our grievances are contagious and spread like fire. Kotler, a distinguished marketing professor, remarks on the power of negative word of mouth. Dissatisfied consumers will tell on average eleven people about their experience, whereas satisfied consumers will only tell six.
Look in the mirror. Does anything nice to say come to mind? Ha! I can hear your musings over here and they are anything but nice!
On the day that you will see yourself as others do, you shall dance to a different and more authentic tune!
I invite you to come and dance to the beat of YOU, to dance Nia, to free yourself of inhibitions, thoughts and feelings that no longer serve you, to discover the joy of movement, to love yourself, your body and who you are.

For the past couple of weeks I have been part of the 30 Day Light it Up Video Challenge, Part and parcel of the challenge is the community. Amongst this ecliptic group of vloggers I discovered a spontaneous and genuine give and take of support and praise. It is heart warming to see the rapid improvement from day to day and to be a part of a unique connection so often lacking from our lives.
This post was first published 10/11/14 and was inspired by an impromptu encounter. I would like to give gratitude for the beautiful people who are a part of my beautiful life. Discover the rush of warm feelings which can be yours. Two simple words deliver a powerful high, gifting the giver and the receiver as one:
Thank you!
Florida Teacher Starts Each Day Complimenting Students One by One
In classrooms across the country, the school day almost always starts off with some kind of routine. Announcements, a run-through of the day's calendar or maybe the Pledge of Allegiance. But in Chris Ulmer's classroom, the day starts off with 10 minutes of compliments.
