Everyone has bad days.
Days where everything seems to go wrong, and where you can’t come up with a single reason to be happy.
We all know they pass…but want to make them go away more quickly?
Smile.
Even if you don’t mean it.
Seriously!
Even a fake smile will help.
Yes, this sounds crazy…but there have been many studies done over the years that support the theory. If you smile, even if it’s completely fake…slowly you will be put into a better mood.
It turns out that just by smiling, your body does certain things, and it doesn’t care that you don’t mean it…you’ll start feeling some of the effects and your mood will be lifted.
Will it make your bad mood go away? Probably not. But it will make you a tiny bit happier, and start you on the path to happiness.
…and a bonus? Smiling will help relieve stress!
That’s another reason to smile right there!
Enjoy,
