Let’s get up, it’s going to be a glorious day!

What’s to come?

One morning I was awakened by the moonlight kissing my face. As if to say, “Let’s get up, it’s going to be a glorious day!”

I love waking up with anticipation of what’s to come.

The newness of the morning, the opportunity of the new day to see what may unfold.

It’s exciting, if that’s what I choose to see.

Years ago, I used to open my eyes and immediately feel all the dread, how depressed I was, how fearful.

And so that’s what I continued to see throughout my day.

Then I learned about Positive Psychology and other tools.

Positive Psychology taught me that the act of simply forming my mouth in the shape of a smile for 120 seconds, whether I feel like smiling or not, will change my brain chemistry to start to believe that I am happier.

Wow! I don’t even have to feel it, yet and it can happen.

The old “fake it till you make it” really does work.

And so, I sit with the moon in real joy, truly excited for the day, knowing that whatever may come, I can get through it.

I wish for you a joyful day.

Smile, whether you feel like it or not, and soon you will feel a little happier.
