A famous old song says, “Smile when your heart is weary.” This song gives good advice. Nothing is more stressful than fussing and fuming which begets more fussing and fuming. Medical Science has proven that stress can do serious damage to your health. So, instead of getting all bent out of shape, bust a grin! Here are a few ideas that will put a smile on your face.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Step1
Smile at your enemies. Never let your evil co-workers see you sweat. Don't let your demonic boss know that your stomach turns when she walks in the room. Remember the whole point of their nasty office politics is to watch you falter and throw you off track. Show those pearly whites and inquire about their health. When they ask you why you look so happy tell them it's because your clear conscience allows refreshing sleep.
Step2
Beam at your boyfriend when he comes in really late and misses the intimate dinner that you prepared for him. Make sure that you leave out the wilted salad and the forlorn looking burnt-into-puddle-looking candles. He'll keep asking you what's wrong and you'll keep saying that nothing's wrong and that's why you're smiling! If he's a good boyfriend he'll probably spoil you for at least a week after this incident.
Step3
Laugh while stuck in traffic on the freeway. Have a whole set of comedic CDs to listen to or read a funny book. Think of a few funny quips you can throw the way of your evil mother-in-law. You'll find yourself laughing out loud.
Step4
Flash those handsome choppers when your girlfriend say she's leaving you. Tell her that you're glad she said it first. Go right out and join a professional dating service. They will help you find the right person without all the endless waste of emotional time and expense.
Step5
Giggle when the doctor says you need a tetanus shot because of the rusty nail you stepped on. Giggle harder when he tells you that it will sting only a little. Guffaw when the needle pierces the skin. The harder you laugh the less you actually feel the needle. Demand candy for being a good patient.
Step6
Crack a smirk at the evil serving wench. Tell her she looks nice today and ask her to bring you some extra fries. Shower her with compliments about her hair color and don't mention that one of them is in your soup. Ask to see the manager with a grin. Grin at the manager and tell him that you need to reorder your meal and that you would prefer if the manager saw to the food himself. Your meal is almost sure to be excellent.
