Well, folks - it doesn't get any easier than this! You've heard the old adage: "Fake it 'til you make it!" So, herein lies the "challenge" portion: Even when you're having a down day, someone just cut you off in the parking lot, your circumstances are beyond gloomy... Can you pull it out of yourself to hold the door open for a stranger and smile?
The act of smiling actually releases endorphins (your happy hormone), so it turns out there's truth to that old adage! If you can put on a smile, you have the power to actually change your mood and how you respond to your circumstances. An added bonus - smiling is contagious in my experience, so you are likely to put a boost in someone else's day, even if for a moment.
'Til next week, be sure to follow us on Facebook, where we post these challenges each Sunday.
Cheers,
Lindsay
