Habit of the Week - Practise your Inner Smile

When we use our inner smile, we regard the world differently.  The inner smile helps us to see the funny side of a situation.  An example, a traffic jam,   When your stuck in traffic it could be easy to feel like a victim, or to be "angry at the gods".  However, when we practise our inner smile, our brain finds a more creative response.  Maybe we can make the best of it -  take a look around at the scenery, or bop along to the music, or practise that poem.  Or maybe we regard the situation from the outside:- say, with irony and laugh at the fact that all of us are "in the same boat" or wonder what brought us all here are the same time. There is lots more scope for ideas when we work on the inner smile.

Practising the inner smile, does not mean smiling like a fool all day long.  We can smile on the inside.

For me working on the inner smile stops me descending into anxiety and worry, which shuts down creativity.  That has to be a step towards good health.

Habit of the week is practise your inner smile.  Let me know how it goes for you.
