| 9.6 | Happiness Tip - Act Happy |
|
How acting happy can make you feel happy
|
 | When you are feeling down, take a few minutes and act like you are happy! Studies show that when you act happy, you can pull yourself out of a bad mood.
Get a picture of the perfect, outgoing person in your mind. How do they act? How do they stand? Is their voice loud or soft? How do they deal with other people? Make a list of these qualities and incorporate them into your act. Get out of the house and put on the show for 5 minutes. You will find that you feel much better. You may even forget that it is an act!
If you can keep it up for several weeks (acting outgoing and happy) you will find that you are more productive, have a better outlook on life and have more fun.

| 2 | How You Act Controls How You Feel |
| Talk to any athelete. They can get themselves in the "zone". They jump around, they do stretches, they listen to music all to change how they feel. You can do the same thing.
