“Smile and the world will smile with you!
Hi there! Have you heard the saying ‘What you sow is what you reap?’ What sort of seeds have you been sowing lately? Seeds of hope or seeds of fear and gloom? Sow a smile, reap a smile!
Did you know that fear has a knack of crippling a person inside? When this happens, it can also wipes that smile away so that the person begin to look and feel downcast, their countenance changes drastically, and their face becomes less attractive.
What this means is that a person’s persona is less inviting, and instead of the world smiling for you, it may feel as if you are being shunned. But this isn’t necessarily the case of being shunned or disliked or even unappreciated.
Instead you may find that it could well be the case that because you are no longer the smiley, hopeful magnetic energy any more, there are no sparks to draw or attract the same, and as such life then often begin to feel heavy and burdensome, and your face no longer smiles.
Here some may say they have good reasons for feeling low, and for not trying to raise a smile. But understanding how the dynamics works between the vibration we are emitting and how this equates and determines the frequency we pull towards ourselves, can be an surprise eyeopener for many. And for most as soon as they realise this simple truth, they tend to make more effort to try and raise their vibrations.
Raising one’s vibration helps to create new hopes and even revive old ones, given upon. Here, I invite anyone who has lost their smile to think about something that gives you joy, however simple that may be. You can also go out in nature and look for something to admire and sit with that feeling for a while. Or treat yourself to something that makes you feel good about yourself, this does not have to be anything expensive. Play some upbeat music or watch a wholesome light-hearted comedy. These ideas often works to encourage one’s self to smile again, to feel better, and in some instances to laugh out loud.
It none of the above appeals, you could try reaching out to encourage someone that you have not seen or spoken to for while, with the intension to uplift them with an encouraging message that you took time to compile. And more often than not, this method has been known to uplift the sender.
Lastly, can you think of at least three other ways that you could use to encourage someone else to use to encourage and uplift a person who has lost their smile?
‘Smile and the world will smile with you’ was specifically penned for the month of October, a season when the clocks go back, and more and more people is suffering from SAD, and the days get shorter, colder and darker.
