NATIONAL SAY SOMETHING NICE DAY

NATIONAL SAY SOMETHING NICE DAY

June 1 is National Say Something Nice Day on the National Day Calendar. Today, we have an opportunity to make today extra pleasant for everyone by saying nice things all day long!

#SaySomethingNiceDay

National Say Something Nice Day is the perfect day to counteract bullying by practicing common courtesy. Our hope is everyone will use today's National Day as a way to promote kindness and encourage people to be nice every day of the year.

"If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." 

Words are important. Once you say them you can't take them back, no matter how true we think they might be. Luckily, we all know someone whose true nature is kinder than most who can help us emulate kindness. These people are a good example of how we wish we could or should be.

There are a few other lessons we can learn from generally nice people. Nice people  genuinely listen to others and tend to put others first. When they pay it forward with a compliment, there is sincerity in the words they speak. National Say Something Nice Day is not only about saying something nice, it's also a day to do nice things for others.

SAY SOMETHING NICE DAY 

It's easy to say something nice to or about someone. Think about the nicest person you know and take a cue from them by putting their better qualities into practice in your life. Bring a smile to someone's face for the sheer joy of seeing them smile. Seek no reward other than knowing that someone's day is better because a nice word was said. Use the hashtag #SaySomethingNiceDay on on social media to send nice words to everyone you possibly can
