Things You'll Need:
- Not a thing! Well nothing but being willing repeat a very simply axiom.
- Do you want to be happy? Yes or No.
- If the answer is YES - then believe you ARE!
-
Step 1
Smile -- the kind that starts at your eyes because you just thought of someone or something that makes you Giggle! Yes, if you giggle or truely laugh it shines through your eyes as it comes from your soul.
-
Step 2
Decide every day - or every hour that you are willing to be Happy.
Just as you can decide to be sad or mad or upset. Decide to simply be happy! Yes it sounds cliche. But it's so very very powerful it will take your breath away! -
Step 3
Be willing to make ONE other person happy today.
Give them that twinkling eyes smile. Try this exercise.
Walking down a crowded sidewalk - Stop on the side and stand still facing the oncoming foot traffic.
Head up... shoulders square.
Now meet the eyes of those coming at you -- even if they are looking DOWN! Look at their eyes. SMILE.
You'll start to notice that over 70% of those you do this too will look at and directly at you. Then get a slightly bewildered look and then smile!
They can not help it ! You have just passed on your joy and the ability to be happy to another person sharing for the smallest moment your space on the planet.
Your next smile you pass on will be even brighter as you received back exactly what you just passed on!
