JAKARTA - Being friendly to others is an important way to spread kindness and positivity. In addition to being beneficial to others, research shows that this prosocial behavior can also improve your own mental well-being.

Being a friendlier and better person is not as difficult as you can imagine. There are six things you can do to show affection, empathy, and kindness in your daily interactions with others, launches "Very Well Family", Tuesday, September 9.

Being a good person not only feels good but also makes the brain healthy. Good small actions can trigger the release of happy hormones such as oxytocin and endorphins, even increasing the neural connection in the brain. The more often you do good, this habit will be stronger and invite repetitive happiness.

When negative thoughts begin to emerge, try to change your perspective: look at mistakes as opportunities, not the cause of frustration. For example, when colleagues make mistakes, think of it as a moment to help, not judge.

Honesty remains important, but you can convey this gently. Set a healthy limit, dare to say 'no' when necessary, without sacrificing integrity or forcing yourself.

How can you be nice to other people if you don't treat yourself well? Start by talking to yourself gently, stop blaming yourself for making mistakes, and practice internal patience.

Kindness is easier to practice when you feel comfortable with the environment and yourself. An open attitude towards ideas, people, or new situations helps avoid prejudice, strengthen calm of mind, and keep interpersonal in harmony.

Politeness is the foundation of positive interaction: 'please,' thank you,' and smiles can change the atmosphere. When other people are rude, reply politely not only to save the atmosphere, but also to show integrity.

Being a better person is not difficult. It's enough to start from small habits that are consistent such as talking gently, smiling, saying thank you, and maintaining personal boundaries. Each of these steps not only touches the hearts of others, but also embraces happiness in you. Want to be more friendly, patient, and sincere? Come on, from now on!
