Smile


Today when I was out I wanted to test out smiling at other people not that I do not do this anyway naturally, but today I wanted to do it consciously firstly to see the response of others and to monitor how it made feel.

So there I was sitting in a little coffee shop and I decided to smile at everyone who came in and looked over, I noticed that I began to feel really uplifted in some way, I was able to watch the body language of others in particular the frustrated lady with her new born child and the lady who was sitting looking quite low when I first got there.

Perfect I thought, so in a gentle manner when they looked at me as people do often just glance even when they do not realise they have I took the opportunity to give them a smile from my heart obviously it came through my face, but immediately they appeared to become calmer and the lady who looked like she had the whole world on her shoulders sat upright and her body language clearly shifted into something much more positive.


What was quite amazing was that with her when she got up and left she looked back at me and caught my attention again, and smiled and to me it read "thankyou" that smile was perfect timing.

So go on give it go, smile go on just humour me and try it no reason other than just because you can, and hey it is free which is even better don't you think!

Just think you could change someones life, or even just lift their spirits just a tad but either way it is worth it.

Go out tomorrow and smile whenever you have the opportunity just have fun, go on its free.
Oh and the coffee and chocolate cake wasn't bad either!!
