Smile

People who smile alot 
are probably healthier.
Smiling helps a lot, doesn't it?

It's good for the heart spiritually and emotionally. Spiritually, because "a joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones."1 Emotionally, because a person who smiles a lot is probably a person with a more positive attitude. And a positive attitude helps us overcome challenges, because it strengthens our faith. And without faith it's impossible to please God2.

I noticed that it helps when I either smile at someone or another person smiles at me. No matter who initiates the friendly gesture, it gets me in a particular emotional place if only for a moment, especially when my day isn't going that great. Sometimes I will smile at random people just to let them know that all is well in the world at that particular space in time. I have seen the response of those people when I surprised them with a smile and since I have no idea whose day I might brighten, it never hurts to do it. I do it all the time.

Try it for yourself.

Because we never know what someone is going through.

A simple smile might mean something major for a person who may be going through something. Why walk around with an angry look? You ever notice how some people just look mean? I believe they can work on looking more positive, but sometimes they don't want to. It's easier for them to go around saying "that's just the way I look." That doesn't get them off the hook though. They can change that if they want to.
I rather have a friendly person with a sweet and kind countenance around me than a person with a mean look. Wouldn't you?

Protecting My Peace - Day 98 - Momentum and Movement, That’s What's Up

Click to listen to current podcast episode. “Never Giving Up” are power-words — strong affirmations that give us momentum and movement. That’s what’s up.

Protecting My Peace - Day 96 - Disciplining Ourselves for Next Level Greatness

Click to listen to today's podcast episode. When it comes to next level greatness, we have to know that applies to us, not just everyone else. Do you know what God has for you? Do you? He has GREATNESS for you. Yes, YOU -- all of us. It's about doing what you can do and only you can do. You are the only one with your DNA -- none of us. is the same Yet, even when we're feeling down, discouraged, and out, those emotions are only temporary. None of us has it all together. Sometimes I procrastinate and put things off when I know I should be doing better. Yet, I am not as diligent and disciplined as I can be sometimes. Like when it comes to working out, I delay it, because I don't like it anymore. And although I love reading the bible, I haven't been reading it as often as I should lately. Yes, I, Sharon, the Faith Coach, do not do the things I'm supposed to do when I'm supposed to do them. And that my dear friends should not come as a shock to no one. It certa...

Protecting My Peace - Day 95 - We Have to Stop Giving Away Our Power

Click to listen to today's podcast episode. Are you giving away your power? Are you letting people take control over our lives? If so, it’s time to stop operating like that. If we’re letting anyone influence us to the point that it’s causing us emotional pain or taking our peace, we have to move away from such people. It doesn’t matter if it’s in a personal or professional environment. Stay positive and productive in the process though, because dealing with challenges are part of the life process. Nevertheless, we can “fight” for our right for peace and respect. We just fight smart and continue to know who we are, especially who we are in Christ Jesus.
