i go to get a photo id – i feel that when i am asked to smile for a photo, i don’t look particularly natural. it feels like the request to smile is so forced and i have to be prepared for it, so what i do is i just practice smiling; i imagine the person asking me to smile or to be ready for the photo, and i smile. it always comes out more naturally that way. anyhow, when i don’t feel like smiling, i just practice smiling.
a good book. your favorite television show. reminding yourself that you are a thermostat and not a thermometer. smile therapy. whatever it
