Fake it and you will make it

Fake it and you will make it
(͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ONE IDEA I used to be under the impression that to make a lasting change in my life was hard. If I wanted to be more joyful, I had to do joyful things. Well, it turns out that there is an easier way. Instead of doing lots of joyful things, I just pretend I’m joyful for no reason. I smile and my brain thinks that I’m happy. I just need to think about the quality I want and pretend that I already have it. I trick my mind and the body follows. If you want to create a “new you” just pretend you are already that person. Just act like you already have the qualities you want. If you want to be more confident, say “ I feel very confident right now” or “I’m feeling very good about myself today” (✿◠‿◠) ONE QUOTE ❝You don’t smile because you’re happy, you’re happy because you smile❞ — Dr. Richard Wiseman (◕‿-) ONE QUESTION What’s the emotion you are going to ‘fake it until you make it’❓
