How much do you do it?

The more often you do it, it makes you a happier person.
When you do it, it affects everyone and before long, everyone else is doing it right along with you.
It's really, really contagious!
Your day can turn from misery into sunshine while you're doing it!
Most people should do it more often than they do.

Okay, so, you have the point, don't you? Do you? You should do it more every day, then, see how it changes your attitude.
People will remember, with happiness, how much you were doing it, yet, your day and their day will be less joyful if you don't.

What is this simple, magical, transforming force.

A smile.

A smile from the heart, from a positive attitude, from positive thoughts that are allowed to flourish in the mind. Oh, please, please, don't believe me, following like  sheeple.
Test it for yourself.
Before you do that, test it for yourself, I say, again.

If you have a child, a special someone in your life, a brother, a father, a sister or a mother, how do you speak to them?
In your own mind, your own personal thoughts, how do you speak to yourself ?
Hyper critically?
Kindly?
Mean spirited?
Compassionately?

How do you speak to yourself in the privacy of your own thoughts?


Try this.

For just 1 hour or 10 minutes or 1 day, whatever amount of time works for you.
Speak to yourself as you would speak to someone you dearly love.

Try it.

When you do something right, tell yourself, "Good job! You rock!"

Instead of telling yourself, in your mind, how poorly you did or that you're not good enough, not attractive enough, not smart enough.
STOP
How would you speak to someone you love? Would you encourage them? Console them? Berate them? Criticize them? Tell them that everything will be okay? Be kind to yourself. To be very cliche', you must love yourself to love others also for others to love you.
I want to be loved, maybe it's naïve of me to believe that most people also want to be loved. Do you want to be loved?

Careful, you might start suffering from high self esteem ~ NOT!

This attitude will cause you to smile, more, the more you do it, the more you will see other people doing it in public, maybe doing it even more in private.

Smiling, that is.

*SMILE*
