My mom gave my sisters and me some advice today about adding a little positivity to our conversations, whether in-person or via text. She suggested trying out unique and cheerful phrases when talking to people—like saying “Aloha” or “Hola” instead of the usual “Hi.” I definitely laughed at the “Aloha,” but I think I will give it a shot. It’s a small change, but it could make interactions feel a bit more fun and personal. And if there’s a way to make someone smile (including myself), I’m all for it!
