When you’re waiting on a line or in a crowd of people at a fair or the mall or walking down the street, see if you can find the happiest people. Don’t overthink it. Just scan for smiles. There are back-up studies for this that show it retrains your brain for noticing more positivity. And that’s the beautiful thing–once we see and feel the positive thinsg here right this very second–stashed in your memory, your inbox, or in a face just outside the window–we start feeling better about ourselves. And, as Marianne Williamson says: “…as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
