How to trigger joy instead of anxiety when we receive praise

• When you receive a compliment from someone, understand that it is **their** experience of the situation, not yours. Simply accept their perspective. Start by saying "thank you."
• Reframe your experience. Think of your vulnerability not as a weakness but as openness. See it as an opportunity to connect with someone else. "Wow, that is such a different perspective."

Nobody is able to change their first response to compliments overnight. It takes time and practice.
