Smile is Contagious ......

Have you every wondered what small things can you incorporate in your life that can make you stay positive throughout the day!! 😕 😕

I'll share a small little incident from the past which helped me incorporate a good habit in life to stay positive everyday.

Smile is a contagious disease, this I have observed. There was a time when I was very low in life. All things seem to go wrong. So as to escape thinking everything negative I started taking morning walks. one day I was standing at an over bridge after a heavy jog. I suddenly saw an old woman coming up.


She had some sort of a radiance and calmness on her face. I felt at peace while looking at her and my face brightened up. My eyes caught hers and she too appeared to smile. Unsure of how to respond I gave her a full smile and she responded back. Then everyday I started smiling at at least one person on my way during my walks. Most of them responded back, though some stared and kept a long face. But for the ones who smiled, it did not stopped there. There were exchanges like "good morning! how are you??", to "were you not well yesterday? why didn't you come". I felt like some people were there to care, that I too am part of their lives. So I learned an important lesson, that smile is contagious, if you try to spread it wherever you go, the other person too catches the disease and it may brighten up their day, and the world around you.
