Smiling: A Practical Approach

Happy Monday!  My favorite thing to do, especially on a Monday morning, is smile at every single person I lock eyes with and observe how many smile back.  Nearly everyone shows at least a half-hearted attempt to smile.

As I previously explained, we are all connected by a universal energy [See E=mc^2].  This is precisely why smiles are infectious.  Just as sure as you can feel the negative energy teeming from the Grumpy-Gus or Sally-Sob-Story next to you, they can likewise feel your positive energy.  Smile, if they resist it by getting even more bent-out-of-shape, smile all the brighter and throw in a laugh for good measure.  Why?  Because they'll either break-down and smile back or get pissed, either way you did your best to radiate positive energy; good for you!

If you are the one being a negativity-soaked asshole, look around to find someone who is smiling.  Now, instead of willing them to fall down a man-hole, envision them doing the Chicken Dance naked, that ought to inspire a smile.

Remember, we choose how we feel.  Take responsibility for both your upbeat and shitty attitudes and note which makes you happier.  Our attitudes can change in an instant, that's the frustrating beauty of the Human mind.
