Spreading Happiness

AA wrote: Jag har inte skrivit det till dig, men jag tycker verkligen om dina veckomejl! Det finns tusen sätt att gå ner i vikt eller börja träna som vi alla känner till och ständigt hör talas om, men när det handlar om att bli mer mindful, gladare, en bättre medmänniska eller vad som, så tycker i alla fall jag att detta är mycket mindre tillgängligt i samhället, vilket är väldigt ologiskt och lite trist enligt mig. Tack!

There are days when we draw worried circles in our own little lives, when we’re filled with concerns, or simply stressed out. Happiness seems far away.
Especially on those days we should try to stop and breathe, and come back to our smiling self. Even a faked smile is a smile – and most likely you will end up smiling at yourself and all the (unnecessary) worries you have.
And then, a challenge:  offer your smile to the next person you meet. Often, you will get a smile back. Nothing strengthens your own happiness more than sharing it with others!
Today, try to make each person you meet happier after having met you. Offer him your smile, your support, a compliment, or your open ear if he needs to be listened to.
Like ripples on water, happiness will be spread around, and life suddenly feels lighter in both senses of the word!

Have a good week! J
