I Want to Exchange Positive Words♡
Being praised is truly delightful.
Especially when praised by someone you like, it brings immense joy. As a child, it was from parents, teachers, and coaches.
As adults, it's from partners, colleagues, and various others.
When someone says things like "You're amazing!" or "As expected of you!" it really makes me feel like I'm great and truly reinforces my self-esteem.
High self-esteem is incredibly important as it allows us to enjoy our daily lives smoothly. I believe it’s ideal to build a relationship in which couples can live by exchanging positive and encouraging words.
In this article, I've listed as many phrases as possible that I consciously try to vocalize to keep a loving and friendly relationship with my husband.
(I used the name "Kei-chan" as a placeholder. Please replace "Kei-chan" with your husband's name while reading. 🙇♀️)

How was that?***
Did you find any phrase you think, "I want to say that to my husband too!"...???
If you’re not used to it, you might think, "I can't say such embarrassing lines! It sounds fake!" But getting used to or making something a habit is truly powerful!
If you keep repeating such phrases and words of encouragement, they will become standard over time; it’s a mystery. You’ll be able to say it from your heart and accept it effortlessly!
I hope to cultivate a relationship like in the West, where we can praise each other without feeling embarrassed and that such an environment will positively affect our children as well.
If there are any of you who feel, "I’m embarrassed to compliment someone face-to-face! But I want to try doing that!" then please!
