be nicer

I definitely have been much nicer today. Situations that have come up I thought I would crack and be mean, I actually didn’t I was nice and I am happy with my decision. Let me hope that I can keep it up.

I think the key to being nice is feeling nice inside. And I think stress is what makes us feel negative. So if we take actions to reduce our stress levels, we can concentrate more on how we act with others.

For me, more often than not, it’s on stressful days when I give everybody on the highway the finger or say mean things to my girlfriend or sister. So, I decided that I’m going to start yoga. If this works, I will be sure to post :).

I think I’m off to a good start. maybe.

This one I added just because I feel like I can be kind of mean to people around me. And I don’t want to be, so I just need to work on being nicer…

I’m mean, always have been. I used to think it was funny, but now it seems more like a defense mechanism. It’s as if I think people will back away if they are wounded and just leave me alone. This leads to many problems never getting solved, and a very skilled mean person.

I am just crabby a lot, and I don’t cut people at restaurants and stores very much slack. I have been working in customer service for so long, I don’t see people having any excuse for giving bad customer service. I think of it as, if I can be a ray of sunshine to customers and always go out of my way to give 110% to make sure they’re happy when they leave – everyone should. But, I am making a huge effort to just let it go. Not everyone can be as good as me. Not everyone gets it. So I am working a lot on just letting bad customer service slide.
Also – I have made it a major point not the bitch at the DH for stupid things. I reserve the bitching for his big fuckups, not when he forgets to rinse a dish.
It’s coming along, but I am still not satasfied.

because I’m not.

I definitely want to be a nicer person to the people around me as I have experienced how it feels to be treated unkindly. Although it was quite painful, I am glad that it happened because I finally saw through what kind of a person the person who hurt me is. We are no longer friends and I have moved on. I hope she has too. However, the incident and pain have never left me. The personal experience of being hurt has taught me to also be more sensitive to the things I say and do as it could hurt a person deeply.

stop being bitchy, annoying, and uncaring.
learn to become a better sincere person

I’m pretty nice in general, but I definitely think I can work on this a bit. I feel like a lot of people don’t think I like them, just randomly, so I don’t know if I just look like an angry person, or that I’m acting this way and not meaning to.
I want to make a conscious effort to be nicer to my boyfriend too. Sometimes I’m not the nicest to him, but as they say, we take out our frustrations on the ones closest to us.
Not a cool concept.
