The Bombshell Factor™

Hello Bombshell!!  So you’ve decided that you just might want to be a Bombshell…good for you!!  Today we learn about the COMPLIMENT.  For those of you that give heartfelt compliments to yourself and others everyday–you are already well on your way to Bombshell fabulosity, so read this for review.  To those new to this amazing Bombshell world, WELCOME!!

Okay girlfriend, honesty here.  When is the last time you paid someone a delicious compliment?  I mean a DELICIOUS compliment, not the “Nice outfit Susie”  kind of compliment.  The kind I’m talking about is the kind that makes someone’s day–like “Girlfriend you look FABULOUS today!!” said with a genuine smile that lets your fellow Bombshell know she matters to you.  If you haven’t done that in a while (or ever)…today’s the day! No time like the present to step up your Bombshell!!  Are you groaning because saying a compliment like that “just isn’t you”?  That is quite alright my dear…that is just your fear talking.  That is the old you…the you that couldn’t step out of your uncomfort zone.  The new you is ready to take it on and do it!!   And guess what?  You can even do it scared.  Anything worth doing is worth being scared about.  ANYTHING.  Start today with yourself.  Look right into the mirror and say with enthusiasm “Hello Gorgeous!!”  It’s okay if you don’t feel gorgeous this minute–you are learning a new way of life and it takes lots of practice.  I recommend this mirror exercise to be a part of your everyday routine.  Really.  Trust me–it works.  You will be amazed at the power it gives you to speak kindly to the shell that houses your soul.  

Okay, now you are ready to share your Bombshell fabulosity!  If you must, tell your compliment to a perfect stranger– she won’t know that this is your first attempt at a Bombshell compliment.  And please don’t worry if she doesn’t know how to respond to you…she is dealing with her own fears as well.  Speaking of responses, when a Bombshell RECEIVES a compliment, she smiles a big smile and says “THANK YOU!!”  She doesn’t say “Oh this old thing?” or “No way!! I look awful!!”  We’ve all been there–paid someone a great compliment and her reply just zaps all the juice out of you–definitely not Bombshell.  Remember that giving and RECEIVING a compliment are equal gifts….and a Bombshell knows how to do both.  Some people go weeks, months, YEARS without giving or hearing a single compliment–how sad is that??    One thing about genuine, heartfelt compliments–it fills the giver’s bucket just as full (if not more full) than the receiver’s bucket.  So what’s your plan?  Who are you going to bless with your Bombshell fabulosity TODAY?
