Studies show that most people think they smile more than they actually do.

If you feel exhausted or burned out often, maybe you need to smile more.

Why?

Smiling reduces stress that your body and mind feel and helps to generate more positive emotions within you.

So the simple act of learning to smile more can help boost you until you can make time to start being more proactive.

You may be surprised to learn that the days you find yourself smiling more, you are more energized, happy, and empowered … and therefore better able to achieve and share great things in life!

(That’s why we often feel happier around children – they smile more. On average, they smile 400 or so times a day while people, on average, only smile 20 times.)

So go ahead…set a ‘Happy Reminder’ alarm on your mobile device that travels with you. Boost your joy with this little trick. It will impact your life and that of others!

It can be a powerful first step toward getting rid of exhaustion and feelings that are otherwise dis-empowering.

And while you’re at it, why not practice smiling in front of the mirror. Be sure to activate both the corners of your mouth AND your eye sockets. (Using the muscles around the eyes makes it more genuine.)

Have fun.

And drop me a note to tell me how it worked for you!
