If you're fortunate enough to be reading this before starting your day- you are perfect for this!

You, my friend, are my target.
(If it's not morning for you, you can try this tomorrow when you wake up! <3)

Together, let's change the course of your dreaded morning.

(you are the target and I just gotcha with my arrow)
We're about to play a game together.

Aren't you excited to play this game with me?

You had all yesterday for that... so come on grumpy! It'll be fun!

Alright, so you're in!

I'm stoked you decided to play along...

Are you ready for the rules?

Well, that's easy heart-to-heart (you're thinking)

I have no rules for you on how you can go about this.

You have your own creative freedom to complete the challenge.

I want to challenge you today to...

Share a smile! (She's smiling, Really, she is. ;) )

The world needs more happiness, more joy, more laughter.

Did you know that smiles:

• Are contagious: people have a hard time frowning at someone who is smiling!
• Can turn your frown upside down just by forcing yourself to smile
• Improve your health by giving your immune system a boost due to your body's relaxed state
• Release endorphines which in turn, leads to reduced level of stress
• Take less muscle energy than frowns
• Are a cross-cultural, world-recognized sign of happiness and acceptance (if you don't know the language, just smile)
• Give your face some exercise using up to 53 muscles at a time!
• Are innate in us, babies are born with the know how imprinted in their codes
• Lead to better connections, people are programed to feel more positively toward someone who is smiling (so go ahead and smile a lot at your boss today ;) )
• Are recognized really far away, up to 300 feet scientists say!

Let's all try to smile more today. Clearly it's good for our health <3

Let's smile at each other.

Let's smile at strangers, co-workers, friends, family... don't forget to smile at yourself!

I'd love it if you'd share a picture of yourself smiling today in the comments and let's see if we can #spreadsmiles together today!

Let's see how many people will play- I want to see how much affect we can have together.

Just smile- I promise you'll have a better day.

Sometimes all we need is a simple post like this to remind us that those muscles in our face can change our whole outlook on the day.

Have a great day! XOXO

As always, encouraging you with love and heart,

XO,
