Why Showing Appreciation Is YOUR Superpower | Mel Robbins

[@PracticalInspiration]

I show gratitude a fair amount, but I totally agree that many of us (me included), don't show gratitude enough to those closest to us. Great video

[@missiris1234]

Adorable son. He seems very mature and smart

[@rachelm2041]

Very impressed by what your son did. Yes, we need to show our appreciation for those that make an impact in our life. Even little things that may go unnoticed by others. 💖

[@musingsofharmony3159]

Many people are actually embarrassed to tell others of their appreciation for them. Oakley shows how this is easier for a child in some ways. Maybe it's their innocent exuberance for life. Thanks, Mel, for the helpful information!

[@PatriciaMuirMaestroQ]

A little twist to the topic. We don’t compliment others enough either. A colleague and I talked about this issue recently. Both appreciation and validation are powerful in building relationships whether personal,familial, or professional.

[@Robotgirl7]

Just did exactly what you recommended and sent a video to a group of incredible people that I met two weeks ago at a workshop and who are now at another workshop that I couldn't make it to. Even though I'm not there with them, sending the appreciation video made me feel like I was a part of their experience. It felt really amazing! Thanks Mel, you rock!

[@knowledgeiskey1319]

I realized how much love is in my life right now. And nobody toxic. It shows what love i think i deserve. And i realized how happy i am when other people are greatful to me. So i told the people in my life how much i love them

[@TheMarshmallowExperience]

My daughter and I fight all the time. She's 16. We fight all the time! After watching this video I sent her a quick I love u on IG. My daughter has been nothing but sweet since I walked in the house. The simple things. Thank you Mel. Thank you Oakley

[@glennzone]

Mel, you are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ! I do not think to say “thank you” in this way, but I SURE CAN, and sure do feel it about so many things, I simply fail to express it. On so many occasions I have received excellent service, or use excellent products, that I feel THAT strongly about, as well as feeling the ubiquitous “they” deserve to personally addressed, because they really do stand out, and truly go above and beyond. . . . and what better message to deliver, than to express one’s appreciation - I mean I already take so little for granted, why not give a personal “you” recognition for an identity of instinctive excellence in the fullest immersion of expression possible !? That’s a decision someone makes, and whether it’s a fluky one-off, or a habitual response, it is to be encouraged. Like, “Read my friggin’ sincerity !” I AM truly and sincerely thankful for anybody that actually gives a crap about another living thing (other thsn themselves.) Thanks agsin, Mel, but, no video right now - you wouldn’t care to see me like this. ;-p

[@Parkitloveit]

The power of your son Oakley is astonishing, I cried from joy listening to his joy 🤩

[@thunder2086]

It's hard to say thank you when you are in a dark corner but i will show my appreciation when the moment comes

[@ElliMsp]

Interesting topic, I was watching it just before going to sleep now. So my boyfriend told me good night and I replied with a video telling him actually what I tell him every time before going to sleep but he was very excited and super happy about this... Thank you for the video, I've never thought about the huge difference little things like this can make.

[@simran.sehgal]

I wanna change my life. You’re my inspiration and I love you❤️

[@jamessamy]

Thank you Mel Robbins for taking your time to share your messages to enhance lifestyle. Grateful to be here listening to you 🙏

[@rena6895]

Awwwe proud momma moment!!! ❤️❤️ He is so adorable! What an intelligent young man.

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Wow, everything about this is amazing! Showing appreciation is definitely a superpower and this video proves it. Cheers!

[@taragunser8438]

This is totally a testament to great parenting because an action like this is taught by your actions and not anything that you’ve ever said

[@dianegarciapiro2607]

Mel. Thank you! It's been an amazing journey. I get up, no hour snoozing, and so much more. I am sharing this with my friends and family. You are real, I can relate, and I'm a better person.

[@qoqopepper]

I also think you and your husband did something right with your son. that's great and today seems rare. I appreciate you for your great parenting skills. A future adult that will be a productive and positive member of society.

[@michellealeman3752]

Oakley is definitely his mother's son! How amazing is that!

[@milachyc88]

I just wanted to say thank you to you! You are such an inspiration, unique and awesome, lots of love to you Mel

[@LazarusStr]

I absolutely loved this video! I am working on a coding project that requires I embed a video for one of the steps. Using my business idea as my muse, I came on KZbin to search for a video about the value of appreciation. I've heard your conversation many times in my daily compilation of motivational videos, so, I clicked through to hear what you had to say. The message was great and your son was so mature in his approach. His action was very sweet and genuine (kids are naturally this way, right!). Your point about turning the camera on ourselves helped to spark a new idea for my business! Thank you for posting this message, it made an unexpected impact on me

[@rachwilliams7971]

Omg this bought tears to my eyes.

[@susieq3590]

Me too

[@baszakrudnicka2438]

Mel, I have tears in my eyes. Wonderful son!

[@karlaelvis9815]

Mel's lectures are just what I need at this time... my life circumstances are similar (though not as extreme) as to hers when the restaurants fail. When the student is ready, the teacher will appear - THANK YOU.

[@carolynd8879]

Omg..I just sent a lovey video to my husband that I’m mad at but he’s doing a really hard thing today and meeting some foster boys he’s going to mentor. And I just realized I used the 5 second rule too..I didn’t think about just shoot and send! Luv u Mel 💜

[@AB-cz4ei]

I totally agree, turns out that lately there some ppl with low levels of appreciation and manners, I believe that's the way they feel about themselves. Thank you for all your videos IU s, you have no idea how much they are helping me. Blessings !

[@sigmanuguy]

Agree wholeheartedly. Dale Carnegie said that appreciation was the most important human emotional need. I built my career and businesses around that idea (using handwritten notes) - and it served me magnificently. Thanks to Mel: I am going to try the video version!

[@naomiking2442]

Such a powerful video! I'm going to show it to my eleven-year-old :-) So happy for Oakley and his chance to go to Microsoft!

[@AnthonyMuiruri]

It's such a beautiful story. I am writing a book about achieving your dreams and was just scrolling by looking for different perspectives on appreciation when I landed on your video. Your son achieved a dream that he might have never had.

[@IIEchoII]

Thank you so much for being here for us 💙 I love your videos, you're amazing!

[@bizmoni9041]

Mel….You made a GREAT point! So very important and effective. Amazing. I am glad that you covered it so well!❤😊👍🏻

[@Gabialoha1]

Have to share that I just started doing little videos to send to my 3 year old granddaughter - she’s in New York and I’m in Arizona. It’s hard to video chat with a three year old, so I thought I’d just send video messages. Then I watched this. Feel like this is confirmation that It was a good decision. Thanks Mel!!

[@fancy_pixel]

I found your channel by coincidence from a Ted talk from 2011 and I LOVED IT.

[@russman1958]

A picture is worth 1000 words especially when it’s mixed with gratitude🙏

[@ginamccarty3387]

Oakley is amazing. You have done an awesome job. Perfect example of giving first without expecting a return makes for unexpected opportunities.

[@TheTerrypcurtin]

Great advise and so easy. I was thinking of what I can do for my finacial planning clients. Now I know. Thank them for believing and trusting in me on video.

[@farihamohamedhilmy4700]

The power of video. Do it for 10 seconds to show appreciation. I like that idea. Thanks Mel! :D

[@giuls3966]

Generally speaking, in Italy when you show appreciation to somebody for something there are two options: in the first the person showing appreciation wants something from the other. In the second one, the person you are showing appreciation to use the situation to ask YOU a favour.

[@tonystarch4487]

In France, it is quite the same. But barely anyone makes any compliment or show appreciation.

[@octaviodelaserna2007]

Mel; I appreciate you and cheer for you to continue doing the amazing and awesome work you do! ✌👊👍

[@mauraronda1265]

Absolutely show your appreciation. Great job Oak!

[@user-ut9xw4kf3d]

Mel Robbins you are ace, I'm enjoying your videos, keep up the good work. Thanks 👍🏼

[@dancemonkeydance2813]

Thank you Mel for sharing yourself in order to help others like me ❤

[@annmulholland10]

This was so cool! I love how your son took the time to say thank you, not expecting anything simply saying THANK YOU. We can learn from him!

[@mtlicq]

you're lucky, not everyone gets results like your son did. I was so enthusiastic and positive and appreciative when I was a kid and when I was 16 and they just thought I was nuts, and made me think that of myself. It hurt.

[@thevnickel7271]

I want say thank you Mel for helping me so much with your advise I hope one day I can meet you in person if that is possible for a simple immigrant like me 🙏

[@GigLifewithLexi]

Omg your son is not only cute, but he is a really good speaker, just like his mom!! That is SO COOL!!!

[@colleenalcantar9061]

I just love this lady.

[@Kimmotion1]

I love to show appreciation for other people. Speaking of which, thank you for posting these wonderful videos!

[@WickerwomanBrickparachute]

What a wonderful son you have!

[@DanceePinkston]

This is a strategy I use! Can’t wait to share all about it on my channel!

[@Hi-Dee111]

You’re so right! Thank you so much for sharing this powerful message. I need to use video more often and this is a great way to start. Thank you!

[@curseword.official]

[@mariaferrer2625]

[@michellericher9289]

I just sent 2 videos to my daughters! Thank you so much 😊🥰

[@horarionobre]

[@MarvinRogers-o2i]

This video was super useful, I appreciate it!

[@rhondacline1413]

Great message, Mel and Oakley ROCKS!!!

[@welldonttellthekids5653]

#melrobbins thank YOU for your work in the world. I made 2 gratitude videos and 5-4-3-2-1 sent them to important persons in my life. A blast of endorphins, in spite of how absolutely excruciating it is to film myself! Thank you!

[@norakatz-rhoads390]

Cheers to Oakie I am Dyslexic It is our Super Power.

[@lusnax]

While working on the #MindsetReset sheets and writing down Lessons I have learned in 2018 I saw this video again and my eyes became wet of tears feeling instantly what great things happened and gifts I got in 2018. Thank you for the inspiration. This is truly a lesson I will take to 2019: Appreciating and saying (not only thinking) Thank You!

[@Anita_She]

What a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼

[@shailaja2954]

I do the gratitude session for women by asking them to write or to draw but I feel this will work the best .thank u

[@TheNicoliyah]

What a lovely boy!! Such a sweeti and such enthusiasm 😍😍😍

[@LonjeMarie7]

He gets his wisdom from his awesome mom! Very nice video!

[@MichelleCoxPhotography]

I love this story and I can't wait to make a video appreciating someone soon!

[@adelinalinnemoller8631]

Thank you so much for your message today, truly, it has inspired me a lot and yes, appreciation makes one feel he/she is not being exploited. Thanks for this lesson.

[@susieq3590]

This made my heart happy.

[@PolinaVita]

I love you Mel. I LOVE YOU

[@burkqul]

I’m thankful for you mel

[@manishchauhan7763]

This is just awesome. I loved the video & will definitely give it a try. Thank you so much Mel. Love all your videos & huge friends of yours.

[@mmowec8159]

I am in full agreement with you. Appreciation is everything. Thanks so much for sharing your story

[@fabiogandra980]

Thanks Mel!! Your videos are always amazing and extremely helpful!!

[@erickiskandar1]

Woow, thank you for this wonderful message. Will do this right away. Showing sincere appreciation through video

[@Tortnado1]

You are such an inspiration! Thank you!

[@maryannm1816]

Loved this vid... I hesitated...but Mel's 5sec rule!!! lol... So I shot a vid sent it... That act gave me so much joy, a hundred times more than watching this vid... Amazing!!!!

[@anakkostan5368]

I'm just hit this video, I totally agree with your content. We should show more appreciation than just critics.

[@aliciaortego6004]

I completely agree with you!

[@peixuanchua2450]

This is such a great video Mel! Very touching and also inspiring. I have always been the type of person that forgets to say thank you during an event and only then sends a thank you text of decent length to the person after returning home but i've always felt like those texts weren't enough to convey my appreciation for them and didn't know what to do abt it. So this is actually very interesting to me! Such a great idea! I'm a little camera shy, but I'll try it out the next time i'm trying to thank someone through my phone!

[@JohnaMedeiros]

Your son is the cutest! Thank for the video 💕💕

[@sanguinelife1059]

Loved, loved this!!! Oakley knows!!!

[@Dan1one1]

[@tracydobbs6941]

Just beautiful!

[@Teresa-xq5ut]

That was so cool and sweet! Made me cry. ❤️

[@gewurztramina]

Wow. Great video. I didn’t expect this include a story about your son, but I loved it and I love the message. Thank you 🙏

[@Amanda-de-Panda]

Loved this message!

[@monteritz4126]

Grrreat video - so helpful - powerful example. Thanks Mel!

[@jacajaca7409]

What a smart boy!

[@shazdekochooloo6413]

He's right! You should come to Seattle ❤️

[@habitseed]

I'm going to use the 5 second rule and record one of these for my beautiful parents right now. Thanks for the rad video Mel!
