\nTake a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile.<\/p>\n

Those of you who know me personally know that I do not exercise unless I have to.<\/p>\n
I really enjoy walking while we are camping, exploring and investigating new places. The sounds of nature are always relaxing and taking the time to look at new plants, bugs and wildlife are very enjoyable. In the city, I don’t find the same enjoyment. First there is not a lot of wildlife to look at, and second, it just doesn’t seem as peaceful.<\/p>\n
I do get to walk for an hour every day and I smile for most of that time. I work as a lunch supervisor at my youngest daughter’s school. I am there for an hour and a half each day surrounded by children and I enjoy all of them so much. I look after 2 classrooms while they eat their lunches at their desks, then we all go outside and I monitor them there as well. Walking is a huge part of what I do.<\/p>\n
I know that I definitely smile a lot during that time as well. It is very important to make sure to bring a great attitude with you because there is always at least 1 child who needs you to pass some of that on to them.\u00a0 Smiling just makes you feel better, and that, in turn, makes your day so much easier.\u00a0 The people around you will also see your happiness and will tend to be happier as well.<\/p>\n
For those people who just get more miserable when they see your smile, they just need you to keep smiling back, eventually, they will cave and smile too :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
