The Law of Attraction- Act Happy to Be Happy

The Law of Attraction tells us that which is like unto itself, is drawn. In other words, like attracts like and that which you focus on and act like will manifest into your life in the form of thoughts, feelings, events or actions. Here's an interesting excerpt from The Family Desk Reference to Psychology, by Chuck T. Falcon ...a good tool to use to get out of a funky mood or away from negative/depressive thoughts.
Act Happy to Be Happy

The fastest way to change an emotion is often simply to act the way you want to feel. Act happy, smile regularly, act friendly toward other people, and participate in plenty of interests and activities, including fun things such as dancing. Don't wait to be in the mood to do these things-you may never feel like it. Depressed people who keep practicing these behaviors find themselves feeling more cheerful. With practice, these behaviors gradually become more comfortable and natural. Other people generally respond in positive ways to these changes, so you receive more pleasure and satisfaction in your life from them. Work on improving nonverbal behaviors that convey depression. Don't use a slow, quiet, bored, monotonous tone of voice. Show some pitch variation and enthusiasm in it. Use erect posture rather than drooping posture with downcast head and eyes. Use good rates of eye contact with other people and don't frown.
