She wakes with a smile on her face, welcoming the day. She is grateful for the day and excited about how it will unfold. Every day there is always something to look forward to; there is always something to learn. She knows what she likes and she is confident with her choices.
She chooses her clothes for the day with confidence and enthusiasm as she’s ready for her day to begin. She chooses a black top, perhaps a little too light for the chilly weather and black and white flowered pants that nicely compliment her top and figure. Without hesitation, she chooses lime green and hot pink socks. In spite of the snow, she chooses her favorite shoes, leopard print peep toe flats with the little black bows and now she is ready to embrace whatever the day has to offer.
Her smile is radiant. She is not afraid of what others might say. She is confident in her choices and her decisions. Is she color blind? Is she a fashion disaster? Is she a confident 21st century woman who is powerful and feminine and doesn’t care who judges her taste?
No, her name is Greta and she is 2 today. Oh, that we all could embrace each day with such unbridled joy and enthusiasm and with a smile.
Easy Stress Relieving Tip: Just Smile
Charles Darwin was the first to suggest that our expressions intensify our feelings. Smiling helps you relax. Smiling has been proven to decrease muscle tension, mental stress and blood pressure and to increase the production of endorphins which are the happy neurotransmitters. Even if you aren’t happy, simply using the smile muscles will put you in a better mood. Those smile muscles are part of how the brain elevates mood.
If you don’t have a two year old to smile at, just smile anyway. Happy Birthday Greta. Love Mimi
