I was reading a post earlier from one of my favorite bloggers A Momma’s View and it really got me thinking. I am normally a high energy person and when I’m up in the morning, I’m up. Out of my day I can honestly say I stay happy and energetic. That’s not to say I don’t have my down days because I do. I mean there are times I don’t feel good or have had a bad day….I am human 🙂 If I am having a down day I do everything I can to pull myself up and make it as great as I can. But what really got me thinking when I read the above post was how they always greet each other whether it be someone they know or are complete strangers. I had a boss tell me once that if you smile when you talk to a customer (I work phone help desk) it will come out in your voice. That is so true!! It also works when you greet people, whether you know them or not. I make a habit to say hello or at least give a smile and acknowledge someone is there because you never know, they might actually need that. It does not have to be a drawn out introduction or obviously going out of your way to say it. It could just be a simple wave, smile, or hello. It is infectious once you start. Try it! It will make you feel great and you might make someone’s day!!
I love what you took out of the post! I agree with you, I honestly believe that you can feel the smile. Same when writing a post. I couple of months ago one of my followers mentioned to me that a post I wrote felt unusually heavy to her when reading. It got to me as I was feeling so extremely down when writing that specific post. I tried hard to not let it come through but obviously it did… So yes, put that smile on your face and people will feel better instantly 🙂
Thanks!! I love how posts from everyone will make you think about things. Our emotions and actions affect everyone around us all the time. If we feel good and show it, everyone around us will start to feel better too 🙂
Very well said
