Smile Until You’re Happy
Try smiling when you know that there isn’t much to smile about. It can prove to heighten yor mood and brighten your day. Have you ever had someone come up to you when you were feeling down and had them say, “smile”? The concept is so stupid to you that you smile out of principle, and that puts you in a better mood for at least a little while.
Today, when that deadline is getting to you or your colleagues just aren’t getting it – curl your lips up and smile. Smile, and the next thing you know you might even laugh. I realize that this type of thinking might not seem to make sense, but it can’t hurt to try. You might be able to get more work done with a positive mood.
I try to smile throughout the day, and it works when I know that things are tough. It makes it easier to get through the tasks that I know are going to be hard. People also look at me and think that I am always in a good mood. This is the type of attitude that others want to be around.
You will realize, in a workplace, that people will look to you when they are having problems instead of to the compainers and frowners. Keep that positive outlook and your work will get done quicker. Who knows, you may even be able to find something more amusing about your work. So here’s the thought for the day… Smile. You just might be able to turn things around.
