1.B-Broad/Bright smile
Needles to say, smiling increases your face value , boosts your mood and makes you feel GOOD!
Don't believe me? I have some scientific and substantial proofs-
- A 2010 study found that making yourself smile when you’re feeling down helps improve your mood and increases positive thoughts
- Mayo Clinic reports that laughter(which begins with smile) and positive thoughts release signaling molecules in your brain that fight stress and illnesses, while negative thoughts decrease your body’s immunity.Moreover , it also lets your body release natural painkillers!
- A 2009 review explains that laughter causes an initial increase in heart rate, followed by a period of muscle relaxation and a decrease in heart rate and blood pressure, which helps reduce your risk of developing heart disease.
- A 2015 study published in Psychological Science found that smiling can result in a lower heart rate during stressful tasks. Stress generally causes increases in heart rate and blood pressure.(source-benefitsbridge.unitedconcordia.com)
2.R-Recognize your inner strength
This is synonymous to finding your true potential.Once you know what you are
Finding your inner strength = Doing what you love = Acing it = SUCCESS!
3.E-Engage in what you love to do
This is like the next step to finding your inner strength.Love books? Read them.Love painting? Make them.Love dancing? Show off your moves.Love cooking? Make one superb dish today!Doing what you love inevitably makes you joyful / glad / pleased / content / rejoiced ......and in turn HAPPY!This not only increases your productivity but also makes you feel motivated to do more(Thanks to dopamine , the "feel good" hormone which plays a vital role in how happy we feel)
4.A-Accept the reality
With the world desperately battling with COVID-19 , we often get nervous and end up becoming distressful.One thing we all should know-WORRIES DON'T CHANGE RESULTS.Why fear if we know things will settle down on their own? Nothing is permanent in life isn't it? Cheer up! We have many other things to do.If you do what you love , you will surely be able to distract your mind from these concerns.See how these all things are interconnected.Accept the reality rather than becoming a bundle of nerves.Ironically hardest reality is accepting the reality!
5.T-Think on the bright side
This explains the best ↓
''Look at the bright side and choose to be happy.Yes ,it is a matter of choice.When negative thoughts enter your mind , just refuse to look at them , substitute them with happy thoughts."

6.H-Hate HATE
Yeah , read it again.Hate hating and also spreading it.Both happiness and hate are contagious.It depends on the source-whether it spreads happiness/love or hatred.Be the source of happiness and love for someone.Become such a person to whom someone can look up anytime for fixing their a bad day.
Maya Angelou once said-"Hate, it has caused a lot of problems in this world , but has not solved one yet."
7.E-Eliminate fear
The fear in our mind will never let us pursue anything in life which we longed for.Where there is fear, there is doubt.Where there is doubt , there comes the thought that you are undeserving.The moment you think you are unworthy , you start giving up.GIVING UP!? That's a straight NO-NO.It's okay if you fall.But what is more important is getting back up.
Sadly fear kills more dreams than failure ever will.
So , in a nutshell-
