“The world always looks brighter from behind a smile.” ~Author Unknown
Science has proven that not only can we not completely control our facial expressions. It has also suggested the reverse is true and that when we make an expression it actually affects our mood.
Smiles are powerful stuff. Just because it’s expected to dread the Tuesday after a holiday weekend, why fall into that trap?
It amazes me how many sales people and marketers don’t smile all of the time, much less after an enjoyable weekend. Within a few seconds, a smile can lift your mood, lift the mood of those around you and make you stand out from the crowd. At worst your mood is better.
Try walking in to through the office door everytime with a smile for two weeks, and then see how things change. Just writing about it has turned my day around.
