Why I’m So Happy These Days
Over the last few days I’ve noticed myself having more energy,
being more productive and feeling happier all day long.
And I’ve wondered why this seemed to happen all of a sudden.
I thought that maybe it’s just the cumulative effect of practicing
Psycho-Cybernetics each day.
But then just a few minutes ago I did a three minute exercise
that made me feel incredibly happy.
And of course it finally clicked.
That’s why I’ve been so happy lately.
I’ve been doing this three-minute exercise three times a day for
about four days now.
And it’s started to make me happier and happier to the point now
that I wake up feeling happy and go to bed feeling happy with
mostly happy moments in-between.
So what is this three-minute exercise that has changed my life so
much?
I look in the mirror.
I smile.
And I keep doing this for three minutes.
That’s all.
I know it sounds way too simple to produce such amazing benefits.
In fact when I began the exercise I just did it because it was
part of week three in my 12 week Zero Resistance Living course.
I had no idea that it would make me feel so good.
But I’m glad that I did it.
Try it yourself a few times.
And before you do just be aware that you might feel weird doing
this at first.
But when you get used to it you will find yourself feeling happy
because it’s hard to smile and not feel happy.
It’s wired into our physiology.
So if you want to develop what Dr. Maltz calls the “happiness
habit” try it for 21 days.
Then let me know how the technique has effected you either in
this blog or in the Psycho-Cybernetics Discussion group on MSN.

Hey, that's great that you're feeling so happy most of the time. I just wanted to share that, I have been having a similar experience. While I have not been scheduling time in for smiling in the mirror, I have been purposely smiling into the mirror whenever I use the restroom. I am working on building up my self confidence and through reading the Psycho Cybernetics book, I learned that visual cues are essential for our self image. So, whenever I am near a mirror I will purposely look at my reflection and make adjustments to my body stance and facial expression to imitate what a "Confident Me" looks like. I have a mental image of a confident me appearing with shoulders back, chin up, pleasant, relaxed facial expression and a sparkle in my eyes....and this is what I imitate when I take a look at my reflection in the mirror. After reading your post, it reminded me that I also, have been feeling happier since starting this exercise earlier this week. Thanks for sharing.
