There can never be too many genuine compliments, especially on one's actions and thoughts. My best friends say, "I respect your opinion", "You are an important part of my life", "I love you" and many more such thoughtful comments each time we are together. (not all at the same time of course LOL)
Phone calls from people telling you something you just created had a positive impact on them. Seeing someone beaming after you help them. Kind words and good hugs in any form remind you to shine on.
