Heal Yourself

I just started doing something. So my wife, dear Dre, said, you know, you walk around often with a scowl on your face. I'm like, really? And she goes, yeah. So we were at this thing for the film festival yesterday and it was early in the morning and I got up and I didn't get much sleep and there was a way in which I didn't really feel like going. So this is all set up for Mr. Grumpy Post, right? So I just got this notion that I was just going to put, at first I called it a stupid smile on my face. I refined that a little. I call it now the mindless smile. I was just going to smile. Just a mindless smile. Mindless because I'm not really thinking anything. I'm not smiling because of anything. It's just an arbitrary mindless smile. And I did that and I got to tell you, I had a much better day and people were really nice to me. It was different. So now that's my new thing, the mindless smile for no apparent reason. Why not? Dre was telling me, my wife was telling me, that they've done studies that if you just smile, you will feel better. The good news is, it is that simple. You want to feel better, just smile.
