If you’re having a bad day or you’re in a sour mood don’t let it impact other people.

Sometimes we’re not happy. It happens. Don’t project your negative feelings on the people around you.

Focus instead on being outwardly positive and happy.

It won’t do you or others any good being negative. It’s bad for your mental physche and bad for your the perception you have of yourself.

You don’t have to beat yourself up for not being positive and happy at all times. We need the other emotions. They make us human. There is a better way to express our emtion rather than being in a terrible mood to everyone.

The way to improve your mood is to act happy.

Try smiling more. Ask people genuinely how they’re doing and feeling. Try focusing on the positives of your day when people ask you how everything is.

Stand up straight. Walk with a purpose. Try repeating a few phrases to yourself to make you feel better.

Tell yourself it could always be worse. Be grateful for what you have and the people you have around you.

Usually the reason for our bad mood is something small in the grand scheme of of things.

Maybe you were cut off in traffic today. Maybe you lost a customer or a potential prospect. Maybe your boss told you he thinks you can improve in a few areas.

 Things could be much worse. Think about these situations objectively. There has to be something productive or positive from every situation.

Typically it’s not other people who create our frustrations; it’s us.

We control the way we react to situations.

Don’t let a bad situation ruin your day or even worse someone else’s day. Try seeing the solutions and positives of each situation. There is always a lessons to be learned.

Being outwardly happy impacts the way we inwardly feel in a positive way. 

If you want happiness it’s simple, act happy.

“We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the same.” -Anne Frank
