Thank you for reading the story, Shrunken Heads vs Inflated ones – In Praise of Praise.
Its one-line takeaway is: Praise, like sunshine, helps all things grow.
Now grab your notebook or journal and if this line evokes something in you, write down what you are thinking.
If not, here are three prompts to write about instead:
- Write a thank you note to the person in your life who patted you on the back the most, and tell them what their support meant to you.
- Is an attitude toward praise “genetic”? Were your parents profuse with praise, or were they stingy? What about your grandparents? And most important, what about you?
- We give journalists Pulitzer Prizes. We give actors Academy Awards. We give scientists and statesmen Nobel Prizes. For which accomplishment would you like to win an award, and what would the award be?
As always, write about one of these prompts or all of them. There is no right or wrong, just what feels best to you.

BTW: Here is journal inspired by Gustav Klimt and created by Peter Pauper Press. (Their products are always so nice.) It will make using these prompts more fun:
