Brighten Your Day Instantly and Feel Happier
Instantly, brighten your day (or someone you love) by doing this one simple thing. If you’re feeling a little discouraged or things aren’t going your way, use this simple strategy to brighten things up.
No matter how big or how small your troubles may seem, you can easily lift your spirits. In a flash! The only caveat is you need a friend or another person for this to work. Which in itself can brighten your day simply by connecting with someone.
This can work with absolutely anyone. Even a perfect stranger.
The really cool thing is, that it will brighten their day too. Sometimes just hearing a kind voice on the other end of the line can instantly make you feel better.
Let’s be honest, people run from negativity. It’s human nature to repel things that can bring you down. But if you’re dealing with a difficult situation it can be hard to always put on a happy face. Which can make people close to you not pick up the phone so much. Or stop making time to see you.
As sad as this may seem, it’s a reality.
It’s not their fault per se. Everyone is going through something. We all deal with difficulties at some time or another and sometimes you can’t expose yourself to people who might bring you down.
It doesn’t make you (or them) a bad person. It’s simply a defense mechanism to feel happy.
The good news is there is an answer! Which is why I am telling you something good. So you can reach out to people for help without bringing yourself down, harping on your problems, or worse, bringing your friends down too.
So if you’re feeling down and out, dealing with stress (or a difficult situation) or simply need a quick pick me up, listen carefully to something that works for me. Every… single… time.
Often when I need to hear a friendly voice I pick up the phone and call a friend. They’ll ask me, “How are you?”
Then I’ll reply, “Fine” or “I’m good. How are you?”
If they know I’m going through a rough time they can smell my BS a mile away. But still, maintain your composure, and simply say something like, “I could be better but I really don’t want to talk about it.” Then say…
“Tell me something good.”
They will usually ponder for a moment trying to think of a funny story to tell you. Instantly relieved they don’t have to hear about your troubles…
Before you know it you’re both laughing over some silly story. Or some achievement, or some cool thing that happened. Then you too start sharing something good that happened. Or begin reminiscing about a similar situation.
You and your friend both instantly feel happier. They are also way more likely to pick up the phone and call you again soon.
Don’t believe me?
Try it. Pick up the phone right now. Call someone you know and simply say, “Tell me something good.”
If you want someone you care about to feel happier, share this with everyone you know. Go ahead. Then reach out to me. On social media or wherever and tell me something good. Hopefully, you’ll tell me how my sharing this with you helped you (or someone you know) feel a little bit happier.

Pay it Forward on Pinterest
Discover how you can pay it forward on Pinterest. To help more entrepreneurs succeed and make the world a better place.
Imagine your website suddenly exploding with traffic! Finally, all your hard work is paying off…
People are signing up for your email list. And you are making the kind of money you always dreamed of making.
Read how we can band together as bloggers. By paying it forward to other business owners on Pinterest. To help our fellow bloggers ~business owners just like you and me~ get the traffic they need to grow their business.
Does this sound crazy???
Maybe. Maybe not…
I have an idea. A splendidly crazy, magnificent idea.
What if every time we saw a Pin that doesn’t have a rich keyword description (and relevant hashtags) we entered an amazing description?
With keywords and hashtags that can help make all your pins fly?!
Even if we did this only once a day…
Imagine the impact we could have!
If every single business owner (or blogger) on Pinterest, repinned someone else’s pin onto one of their boards. A pin that had no description or hashtags (or one that could be better) just to help another blogger.
By paying it forward on Pinterest.
Think about it.
This idea could go viral. Imagine how many bloggers we could help!
By taking only ONE minute of your time each day. How we could vastly improve the chances of another person’s Pinterest Pin going viral.
We all know that Pinterest is a search engine.
That a great pin description with keywords and hashtags is vital to making a Pinterest Pin go viral. Without them, it’s nearly impossible for your perfect customer to find your pins.
Think of how good it feels to help people.
In fact, I have already been doing this. When I see a pin on Pinterest that doesn’t have hashtags or a description, my first thought is they must be a new blogger.
They simply just don’t know yet how important hashtags and great descriptions are.
Which is one of the reasons I started writing about Pinterest.
Then one day I realized that a lot of my Pinterest pins are also being saved without hashtags! It took a little research and testing. But once I figured out why, I found a solution.
Actually, I thought of two ways that can help more bloggers get more traffic using Pinterest.
You see, I realized that it was because my blog readers were saving my pins directly from my website. Without adding hashtags. Once I realized it, I figured out how your readers can save your Pinterest Pins with your descriptions and hashtags. Without having to add them.
Even when they are being saved directly from your website.
This way, when your website visitors save your pins, they will be saved with your description and hashtags.
Increasing the chances of your Pinterest pins going viral and driving more traffic to your website.
Cool, huh?
In fact, I created a video where you can learn exactly how to do it. It’s a quick video tutorial that I added as a Bonus video to the Viral Pin Strategy. A mini-course I created that teaches you how to make your Pinterest pins go viral.
Over and over again…
The other idea I came up with is to “Pay it Forward” on Pinterest.
By sharing this we can help even more bloggers.
Isn’t that why we started blogging in the first place? To help people?
Trevor, the adorable little boy from the movie Pay it Forward asks, “What are you doing to change the world?”
Every kind gesture makes the world a better place…
