✓ Smile at everyone. A smile is a beautiful thing to wear. So, flaunt your smile in front of everyone whenever possible. You don’t need to know a person to smile at them, Try smiling at the person at the supermarket check-out, or at the ticket office at the cinema. Your smile might mean even more for them,
✓ Fake it ‘till you make it. Making yourself smile will start making you feel happier. The longer you keep at it, the better you will feel.
