Your cheerful mood can have a profound impact on your environment today, as it is likely that certain people in your life occasionally look to you for clues as to how to behave.

To further spread the effects of your positivity, try to give everything you say and do today a positive spin. You will likely feel better about yourself and your efforts when you think about the day's rigors in lighthearted and optimistic terms.

We can spread cheer among the people closest to us by endeavoring always to allow the positivity we feel when in their presence to come through in the mood we project. While we may not be in the highest of spirits, we can nonetheless inspire an atmosphere of happiness by participating fully in social situations. By engaging ourselves in this fashion, we serve as an example others can look to when they are unsure as to how to handle themselves. Additionally, our smiles and our laughter can encourage family and friends to give themselves over to joy even when they might otherwise adopt a somber disposition. Not everyone will be won over by our gregariousness and merriment, but the atmosphere around us will be changed for the better. Your upbeat outlook will help brighten others' moods today when you express your happiness in all you do.
