Hello again my friend,

It’s time for a quick Tuesday tip:

Question – Are you in a good mood right now?

Tip:

You can change your mental state, by changing your physiology.

If you are feeling stressed or annoyed, look at your body posture and countenance. How are you sitting, are your eyebrows furrowed? What are you thinking about?

Now, think of a moment when you were thoroughly enjoying yourself. What expression was on your face then? How were you breathing? (yes, breathing!) How did you sit or stand?

Now, just for fun, put that expression on your face. Let yourself smile. Sit up tall, enjoy the moment. Breathe!

Sure, your smile the first time was in response to something you enjoyed, but notice the power when you smile by choice. Your body is wired in a way that emotional triggers cause physical responses, but the opposite is also true. Physical triggers cause emotional responses. When you smile, you feel better, because your brain associates the smile with good things.

So, for very important reasons today, I encourage you to smile. You deserve to feel good, and your smile makes those around you feel better. When we feel good, productivity goes up, when productivity goes up profits rise, and when profits rise, we want to smile. So let’s just start with the smile, and start the ball rolling!

Smile - it increases your face value. ~Author Unknown

Please do not underestimate the value of this post. This one new habit could change your day, your week…your life!

Always remember to be happy because you never know who's falling in love with your smile. ~Author Unknown

Until next time, I’ll be…

In your corner (and in love with your smile),

-Gina
