Happy Monday #7

It’s that time of the week again!  And, although it’s yet another Bank Holiday here in the UK (let me hear you shout woohoo!), it’s still a work Monday for everyone else… and plus, tomorrow will still be our Monday equivalent.

This Monday I want to share a fantastic resource I discovered which outlines 10 simple things you can do today that will make you feel happier.  Better still, they’re all proved by science.

Here’s a quick excerpt:

7. Practice smiling – it can alleviate pain

Smiling itself can make us feel better, but it’s more effective when we back it up with positive thoughts, according to this study:

A new study led by a Michigan State University business scholar suggests customer-service workers who fake smile throughout the day worsen their mood and withdraw from work, affecting productivity. But workers who smile as a result of cultivating positive thoughts – such as a tropical vacation or a child’s recital – improve their mood and withdraw less.

 
Grab a cup of coffee and take a quick peek at the list. You have my word that everything listed is so quick and simple to put into practice, you can start them today and start feeling the difference: Link
 
Happy Monday!
