Here is the simplest little mood shifter you'll ever come across:
Please take a good look at the Mona Lisa's smile. Got it? Now, all you have to do is allow a tiny half-smile to spread across your lips -- not much more than a smirk -- and then, shift your eyes slightly to the left (that's the most important part). Hold that for a few seconds, and maybe take a few deep, slow breaths.
Did you feel that?! Kind of like having a really great secret and being in love with the whole world, just for a minute?
I find it almost absurd that this can make me feel so great, almost instantly. And so odd that looking straight ahead and smiling does not produce the same feeling at all! Perhaps there is some grand scientific explanation for this ... but meanwhile, it is my simple gift to you. And you can take it with you everywhere, and do it anytime you like -- how great is that?
Maybe Mona Lisa really does know something we don't -- but we can practice it! Life is often soooo much simpler than we make it, don't you think?
Love & (nearly) Springtime Hugs,
MJ
