It's impossible not to have those days when one feel like everything just seem to be going wrong and then one struggle to put up a smile. I don't have such days much but when they do come, I think of ways to get out of it because I've seen how more worse it could get if I don't do anything about it.
My usual self would always smile and at almost anything. I've even smiled when someone is cussing at me or trying to annoy me, I find it okay so long I know I'm not any of those things they say I am. I think I've even gotten some people feeling guilty because I smile and forget about whatever wrong they did to me.
Now imagine someone as I am having a bad day, the sadness or annoyance that comes with such a day will definitely not last long before I start feeling happy and smiling again. But there have to be some things I need to do to activate my smile on such days since it's kinda different.
Honestly, I can't even remember much things that could give me a bad day but there are a lot of it but somehow I go through those days and now, it feels like they never happened. Some things I did to go through my bad days are very simple and little actions. I call them my smile Activators, what are they?
Revisiting past happy moments has no doubt helped me cope through my bad days a lot. When I'm supposed to look unhappy, you find me smiling because I remembered something good from the past that happened to me or someone I know.
Listening to music, my favourite brings smiles to my face to the point of singing along happily. I try not to play songs that could make sad even more, happy songs goes well for me mostly on days like that.
Eating a good meal or craving is another smile activator for me. I may not feel any hunger or craving but when I feel sad but I sometimes force it and have something to eat, somehow I gain my smile back.
Watching movies, funny skits, engaging with friends both online and offline, singing and a few other things I do activate my smile when I have a bad day. Over time, I've learned to decide to be sad or not even when I am having a bad day so it almost never lingers for long when I go through it.

Listening to music always brightens my mood too, I'm so grateful for all of the people who've given their lives to developing and making music! And a good meal? Heck yeah. There are very few woes that cannot be fixed by tacos or a special sweet in my opinion! It was nice to read your thoughts on cheering up 😄
Haha tacos and special sweet huh? I smiled reading that 😂
Keep smiling is a good thing and reduces a lot of hassle of us. Listening to music is also effective. But I feel taking a lonely walk can be beneficial.
I rarely try the walk thing, will try to do that.
Before I say anything, do you listen to music alone or you dance alongside? Like amapiano🙂↔️
You should have just say the anything o 😂
I don't know how to dance so I hide and dance rubbish. I dance amapiano in my head 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
