Whistle More
I want to whistle more.
Have you ever tried whistling when you feel grumpy? I can’t do it.
Do you feel grumpy while you’re whistling? See my point?
When I whistle, my mood lightens and I feel better. The same thing happens when I say something genuinely complimentary to a person I’m angry with. Or, when I offer a prayer of gratitude for a challenge I’m facing.
Doing the OPPOSITE causes a shift within me, and OPENS me up to think outside my own little box. My feelings often follow my actions.
Think out of your rut into a new positive place – Whistle While You Work!

Did you know that even when you’re sad making a smile lightens your mood?
Our brains are trained to make certain facial gestures to represent our emotions, and it also works backwards. That’s why when you make a smile your brain thinks “hey, I must be happy!” it’s amazing what control we actually do have over our mood and our emotions.
