So the original title of this post was going to be called, Because nobody likes a R.B.F but having a profane word in the title doesn’t really go with the #AlwaysPoz brand. Not sure what that acronym means? That’s okay – just let it go. Either way, you get it, this post is all about “turning that frown upside down.”

I remember as a college kid in sales, I used to knock on doors and as I would get ready for an in-home presentation I had to make sure I had my game face on. I used to try this little trick before I knocked on the door and I still use it today. This #AlwaysPoz move can make the worst days brighter and will immediately put you in a positive frame of mind.

All you have to do is….SMILE.

That’s it???

Well, sort of. This is not just your ordinary Leonardo Dicaprio smooth-as-butta-smile.

This is the CHEESIEST, BIGGEST, RIDICULOUS, TEETH-SHOWING SMILE you have ever done.

Here’s how it works: turn your head to the side. Okay now on the count of 3, you have to [almost violently] fling your face to the front (imagine you have long girly hair and you’re flicking it to the back). You should now be wearing the MOST CRAZY, GUM-SHOWING, GOOFY LOOKING SMILE EVER!

Does this feel absurd? Abso-freaking-lutely. Will you laugh out loud at yourself when you do this? Probably. I used to literally look around the street to make sure nobody was around to watch my antics. Now, I just turn my head to the side to see if anyone is around and when I look forward, I got the all-whites showin’.

Okay – now I want you to try this.

Right now.

For serious.

The likelihood of some hot babe or a handsome dude staring at you long enough to judge you right now is slim to none (not that I don’t think you’re beautiful). I’m just saying, who cares what someone thinks right now.

One the count of 3, just try the Always Poz smile.

Ready???

1…….2…….3!!!!

SMILE!!

There you go : ) I hope you did it so big that you feel ridiculous. To the point that you have to laugh at yourself.

I told you, this isn’t rocket science. I’m just reminding you about little tips here and there that will hopefully make a positive impact on your daily life.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post. I will be posting bi-weekly going forward so feel free to check back every other Monday morning. I want to help you start each week on the right foot.
