JUST PUT A SMILE ON YOURFACE AND DO IT!!!

"Your attitude always decides your altitude in life" ~

Zig Ziglar

Did you know that you were born with a positive attitude? Yes indeed you were! If you have been reading each passage here at Pink Parties you will have learned by now that we "LEARN" how to behave or act from our parents or the environment we grew up in.

Growing up my parents would tell me what I should do or how I should behave and one thing that I can always remember my father saying is "PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE AND JUST DO IT!" The funny thing about putting a smile on my face is that when I did....my attitude about what I was doing changed.

My challenge to you is to rethink your attitude with everything you do....if you need to lose weight, "PUT SMILE ON YOUR FACE AND JUST DO IT!" If you need to get out of debt, "PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE AND JUST DO IT!", ............

Here are some amazing thing about smiling:

1. Smiling makes us attractive.

We are drawn to people who smile. There is an attraction factor. We want to know a smiling person and figure out what is so good. Frowns, scowls and grimaces all push people away -- but a smile draws them in.

2. Smiling Changes Our Mood

Next time you are feeling down, try putting on a smile. There's a good chance you mood will change for the better. Smiling can trick the body into helping you change your mood.

3. Smiling is Contagious

When someone is smiling they lighten up the room, change the moods of others, and make things happier. A smiling person brings happiness with them. Smile lots and you will draw people to you.

4. Smiling Relieves Stress

Stress can really show up in our faces. Smiling helps to prevent us from looking tired, worn down, and overwhelmed. When you are stressed, take time to put on a smile. The stress should be reduced and you'll be better able to take action.

5. Smiling Boosts Your Immune System

Smiling helps the immune system to work better. When you smile, immune function improves possibly because you are more relaxed. Prevent the flu and colds by smiling.

6. Smiling Lowers Your Blood Pressure

When you smile, there is a measurable reduction in your blood pressure. Give it a try if you have a blood pressure monitor at home. Sit for a few minutes, take a reading. Then smile for a minute and take another reading while still smiling. Do you notice a difference?

7. Smiling Releases Endorphins, Natural Pain Killers and Serotonin

Studies have shown that smiling releases endorphins, natural pain killers, and serotonin. Together these three make us feel good. Smiling is a natural drug.

8. Smiling Lifts the Face and Makes You Look Younger

The muscles we use to smile lift the face, making a person appear younger. Don't go for a face lift, just try smiling your way through the day -- you'll look younger and feel better.

9. Smiling Makes You Seem Successful

Smiling people appear more confident, are more likely to be promoted, and more likely to be approached. Put on a smile at meetings and appointments and people will react to you differently.

10. Smiling Helps You Stay Positive

Try this test: Smile. Now try to think of something negative without losing the smile. It's hard. When we smile our body is sending the rest of us a message that "Life is Good!" Stay away from depression, stress and worry by smiling.

SO....Change your attitude...you are the ONLY ONE that has the ability to do so!!!!!

DON'T BELIEVE A WORD YOU SAY!!

So we've been over how to get more energy and what becoming emotionally healthy is......so lets get down to business! We have all been programmed....or raised with certain beliefs in mind. For instance, as I grew up when we sat at the dinner table we were told that you must eat everything on your plate! So I did. And I continued doing that until I became as big as the house! I would feel so terrible if something was left on the plate...because after all...there are starving kids in Africa!

The same goes for money....all the quotes we are all familiar with are nonsense.... such as....money is the root of all evil. You know there is nothing wrong with having money.....lots and lots of money...as a matter of fact it helps ....its a tool....the more money you have the more abundant life you can live. I had so many mixed messages growing up about money....my mother came from the poorer side of town and my father higher middle class....one felt that the rich were greedy the other worked hard to be rich.....never really understanding that money is a tool and that living an abundant life is what makes you happy.

I challenge each of you to start to retrain your mind. Stop believing what your brain has been trained to believe...DON'T BELIEVE A WORD YOU SAY... I am working on this as we speak. There is a fantastic book you can read called "Millionaire Mindset" by T. Harv Eckar. It teaches you how to reprogram your brain. This is just another way on the path to becoming "A New You"

Email with your thoughts! And if you need me to help you along the way....let me know! This is a journey that will help you live a very abundant life!
