Happiness is Contagious

Did you know that you can catch happiness; just like you can catch a cold. Well you can; all you need to do is keep yourself surrounded by happy people. As many studies have found happy people can highten ones mood just like miserable people can lower ones mood. People tend to react harshly to harsh words just as they tend to react politely to polite words. Its simply a matter of common sense that having happy friends not only reduces stress, but makes you happy as well. For instance, you will find that on social networking sites; individuals with smiling profile pictures tend to have more friends than people without smiling profile pictures. This is because not to many people want to be troubled or stressed by someone who could potentially be miserable. However, people will flock to those who are happy because happy people are more pleasant to be near. Moreover, just having a friend who has a room-mate that is happy can make you happier although you may never have met this room-mate, happiness just seems to rub off. So just a tip on how to be happy, stay away from miserable nagging angry people and keep a hefty supply of jolly smiling happy people. Why, if the little girl below popped up over a park bench smiling at you like she is in the picture above, you can't honestly say that you couldn't smile back or even laugh; no matter what sort of day you were having at the time. Also ladies please tell your men to smile because nothing makes a happier home than a smiling husband, father, son, boyfriend, etc. So just take a look at the smiling faces on this web-page alone, and your day will probably get a little better; call up a friend who you know is a happy person and talk to them for a few minutes and I guarantee you'll feel happier and healthier than you did before you called them. Are you coming to the realization yet; are you starting to realize something that you probably never noticed before.... When people smile at you; you smile back because happiness is contagious.
