Here are eight ways to be a nicer person:
- Say nice things to others. Compliments and encouraging words go a long way
- Listen and show genuine interest in what others have to say
- Small gestures matter-remember birthdays, ask about someone's day, or notice their efforts
- Smile more as a simple smile can brighten someone's day
- Say please and thank you. Basic manners go a long way
- Make time for friends. Prioritize relationships and be there for others
- Whether it's paying it forward or performing random acts of kindness, spread positivity.
