Non-Physical Ways to Pay Someone a Compliment

As women, we are not always aware of the many ways diet culture infiltrates every aspect of our lives.  One of the ways it sneaks in, is by us ladies focusing mainly on our physical appearance and therefore that of our friends or acquaintances.  I am 💯 guilty of complimenting my female friends on their physical appearance.  We don't do this to the men in our lives.  This is how us women have learned that we are valued solely by our beauty.  

In an effort to do better, I came across the following non-physical compliments by Sara Kuburic, @millennial.therapist.  I have been working on using compliments that focus on the core, not merely the surface, of a person.  

Examples of Non-Physical Compliments
