This post includes a list of encouraging words. It dawned on me the other day how many times I’m googling lists of words to help me come up with word alternatives. I decided instead of continuing to have to google or go to a thesaurus that I would start writing some posts with lists of words. I love lists, so this is totally up my ally. I’m actually surprised I didn’t think of this sooner!
Aren’t we all searching for words to use beside good, nice, and great? I know even these days I hear the words awesome, amazing, super, and wonderful way too often. My newest favorite positive words are superb, phenomenal, and outstanding. I remember my 2nd grade teacher, Mrs. Marshall, used the word outstanding often and I thought it was one of the coolest words. It really made me feel extra special when she wrote that word on my paper.
One thing to note: This list of words that I came up with includes not just adjectives and adverbs. It also include positive nouns and verbs as well. I figured we shouldn’t leave them out because sometimes in my writing I want an affirmative noun or verb as well!
