Let's start with a quick exercise.
I'd like you to force your face into a smile.
Don't just sit there - actually give it go.
Force your face into a smile, Now hold that expression.
Everyone knows that when they feel happy they smile - but research shows that the opposite
is also true - when you force your face into a smile you start to feel happier.
Keep smiling.
The same is true of how you talk and even walk - if you put energy into your voice and
a spring in your step you will suddenly you feel much better.
OK, you can stop smiling now.
How do you feel?
Did it work for you?
I hope so.
And next time you want a quick dose of delight, just spend thirty seconds or so behaving like
a happy person.
