"Act as if you were already happy and that will tend to make you happy." — Dale Carnegie
Act as if something is true and you can create a more positive reality. Our willingness to "act as if" allows for physical, psychological and environmental shifts to occur. Even if you don't believe this will work, do it anyway. Even if you feel fake, do it anyway. How do you put this principle into play? Do the opposite of the behavior you want to reduce or be rid of. So if you feel like you are an unfriendly person, spend one day a week going out of your way to smile at people, make small talk, ask people questions and listen to their responses. Act your way into right thinking!
