Why are bad moods so much easier to catch than good moods? Whatever the reason, you’re wise to shield your energy with an imaginary protective coating when you come into contact with a chronically grumpy someone. Keep a smile can create the right mood to soften the grumpiness of the other someone.

People often say ‘I’m not very good at that’ or ‘I can’t do that’. What they usually mean is ‘I haven’t learned how to do that’. We’re all more capable than we believe ourselves to be and can be our own worst enemies when it comes to having faith in our abilities. Don’t be quick to dismiss something you believe yourself incapable of doing. A small learning curve is all that’s needed.
