Use the idiom "lift the spirits" in a sentence. *
Alchen [17]

The idiomatic phrase "lift the spirits" shows that a person who was previously sad or depressed had that mood changed and is now much happier than before.

With this in mind, we can see that this shows that words, encouragements, rewards, etc can help to lift the spirit of a person in any situation.
