It's a well known fact, your attitude will define the kind of day you will have. Some days, you wake up feeling agitated and upset for no apparent reason. Sometimes these feelings are justified by events that are occurring in your life at the time. Your day starts in this negative fog and sticks with you, getting progressively worse as the day drags on. By the end of it all, you are ready to rip someone's head off and no amount of cajoling or good humor will alleviate your mood. Your day has been
completely ruined!
In the long run, what have you accomplished? Have your problems been resolved, or have you only added to your unhappiness by undermining yourself with negative thoughts? It's time to "flip the switch" in your head and pretend to be happy. This sounds ridiculous, but it actually works. Even though, you don't feel like smiling, do it anyway. It might feel uncomfortable initially, but as you engage with others in a positive manner, you'll find your smile will become the real deal. All it takes is a decision to be positive. It might not solve your problems, but being in a better mood certainly won't add to them. In fact, it may help you see your situation in a better light and help you to make better decisions.
