I’ve been doing my own “scientific experiment” for several years. Whenever I’m in public, I keep a smile on my face and observe how many strangers I can “infect” with smiling. It’s fun to think that just by smiling at people in different ways ( kindly, conspiratorially, sympathetically) that I can help them have a better day. In a world where many folk feel invisible and unappreciated, I think a simple smile from a stranger can help them feel like they’re not. Also, I’m a little old lady, so I can get away with it😊

Mel, I'm only halfway through & NEED to comment.... 'stop talking' I use the acronym: W.A.I.T. = Why Am I Talking. You are so right about listen to learn. I talk about what I already know, I need to know what someone else knows. Okay, back to the episode now -- many thanks for what you do! 🥰

During COVID, I started walking every day. It has literally changed my life. I’m in my 60s and have suffered anxiety all my life. Now I don’t and I put that down to the walking, I’ve never felt so well and happy!

As a teacher, I learned that a loud voice is ineffective. When I wanted attention from students, I lowered my voice and spoke deliberately and calmly. When you mentioned lowering your voice, I had to smile.

Just here to say: listening to you feels like talking to a best friend that I don’t really have right now. Love you, Mel.

I have a little card that says " If you see someone without a smile give them one of yours" most of the time they respond with a smile x

I have two little dogs who 'demand' a walk every morning. I call them 'my fitness instructors' because, regardless how I felt before we started, I always feel better after the time outside.

I went through a rough divorce a few years ago. Walking literally got me through this crazy time.

We look beautiful when we smile. If you want to look younger and prettier or more handsome forget makeup, hair, clothes. Smile. Instant beauty.

My mom used to tell us" go run around the block". We lived on 10 acres but she made her point.
