Smiles are absolutely contagious. So is yawning, interestingly enough. Have you ever noticed how one exuberant person can absolutely light up a room? (ie, that famous scene from When Harry Met Sally) The same is true with a tired negative attitude - it is equally contagious. So what can you do to make sure that your attitude is worth catching? Here is an easy way to start: make 5 people smile every day. Here's the catch - they must be strangers! That's right, make them smile without requiring anything in return. Compliment the cashier on her earrings. Pet a stranger's dog (with their permission of course) and thank them for allowing you to visit. Pick a wildflower and give it to the person that brings you your latte. Hold the door open for the next person coming through the door. Pick up a lucky penny and hand it off to someone else.
Making someone else smile will make you smile even more. Go out and infect someone with happiness today!
Why you shouldn't say "that's not my job!"
