We’re all heard the expression, ‘Act as if’. Act as though you have what you want and you’ll be more likely to get it. It’s the same concept behind ‘Fake it ‘til you make it’.
Pretend you can and soon you will be able to. Or something like that.
It works because when your brain believes you have something it finds ways to help you get it.
No, it’s usually not that simple. But I’ll tell you something that is.
Not only is it simple, it works instantly.
Yes, instantly.
What is this magic elixir?
It’s a simple way to feel better. Happier. More confident.
Who doesn’t want that?
As a bonus, it makes the people around you feel better, too.
And there’s science to back it up.
According to a recent study, researchers confirmed that smiling positively affects mood.
Even a fake smile.
Smiling ‘tricks’ your brain into thinking you’re happy. And thus increase levels of hormones like dopamine and serotonin, which make you even happier.
What’s that? You know all this? You’ve heard it many times before?
Me too. But are we doing it? I mean right now, are we smiling?
A few minutes ago I wasn’t. But I am now. And you know what? It works.
