Throw those little guys around like confetti.<\/p>\n<p><b>2) Give Kudos<br \/>\n<\/b>It takes a lot of courage to be yourself and share online. Give a shout out to friends, followers, and family who inspire and support you.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-39762 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2020\/09\/Spread-Positvity-Project-B3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1580\" height=\"772\" \/><b style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">3) Spread Positivity<\/b><br \/>\nWhen you spread positive comments and good vibes, it not only cheers on the recipient, but it can also inspire others to do the same. <i style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">The late Ruth Bader Ginsburg said it best, &#8220;Fight for the things you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>4) Make A Commitment<br \/>\n<\/b>Make a conscious effort to spread positivity and choose kindness everyday &#8211; online and <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in real life.
