Smile For Success
 If
a picture is worth a thousand words, then a smile is worth a million. The power
of a smile is incredible. Even if you don’t feel like smiling, the simple act of
lifting the corners of your mouth can help you lift your entire spirit and find
something worth smiling about. Some of the greatest self-help advice out there
comes from those who advocate “fake it until you make it.” This is especially
true when it comes to positive thinking, and faking a smile goes a long way
toward producing the genuine thing. You may end up laughing at yourself merely
because you know you have nothing to smile about.
Another great thing about smiles- they’re highly contagious. A smile spreads
faster than a cold in a daycare. Most people can’t help smiling back when
someone casts a happy expression their way. This is a simple and exciting theory
that you can test out for yourself. Go to any public place and start smiling at
random people, then keep track of how many smile back (even suspicious smirking
counts!). You’ll likely find that 9 out of 10 of your targets return your joyful
expression to some small degree, and you’ve probably just made their day a
little brighter, too.
Learning to smile on demand is an important step in developing a permanently
positive mindset. One good technique for summoning smiles is to choose a happy
memory that never fails to fill you with good feelings. Keep this memory at the
front of your mental catalogue, and access it whenever you feel a case of the
blues coming on. It may not solve your problems, but it will at least make you
smile- which in turn helps you relax and take an objective look at your
situation. Smiling often creates a mental cue for the foundation of positive
thinking and helps prime the pumps of happiness.
You should also spend a little time in front of the mirror observing your own
expressions. At first this practice may seem uncomfortable or downright silly,
but smiling at your own reflection has a positive effect on your psyche. You can
even practice different smile variations: the amused smirk; the close-lipped
leg-pulling smile; the toothy grin; the laugh-out-loud open-mouthed smile. Think
of it as an Olympic event...it’s your personal Smile Marathon, and you’ll win
the gold every time!
