Positive People Make Us Smile
Who makes you happy? Most of us know certain folks who always make us smile whenever we spend time with them. They have a positive influence on our lives. They raise our spirits, and we feel happier around them.
Plenty of research supports the belief that being around upbeat, positive thinking people really does boost feelings of well-being. Studies show that the opposite is true as well. Spending time with negative people affects our mood and outlook by bringing us down.
So, if you want to be happy, hang around the people who have a positive impact on your life. Try to spend as much time with folks who make you smile. Enjoy their company and soak up their positive influence.
