Smiling at Strangers - I can't tell you how many countless times I've found myself grocery shopping or in the mall feeling like a grouch not wanting to talk with anyone at all. I'd tell myself, "it's too big of a hassle to 'be nice' and friendly, or I didn't have the TIME or energy. Fiddlesticks. After years of this unfulfilling practice, I decided this wasn't a true reflection of who I really am. I consider myself a loving human being, and I genuinely care about people. This old behavior was a poor reflection of me, AND it didn't make me feel good. So, I created a new practice when roaming with strangers, clerks and salespeople on my shopping excursions and errands.

The real reason why you find it hard to take it easy is because (drum roll, please) you THINK it MUST be HARD. Seriously, that is the ONLY reason life feels hard. When you choose to believe that life has to be hard because that’s just the way it is, then you are deliberately (even if maybe unconsciously) creating the experience of difficulty in your life.
