How do you make someone happy?
What is the most convenient thing to do when you want to make someone happy? Give money? Could be. Give compliments? Could also work.
A very good way, however, is to be happy yourself first. This is how you "infect" the other person, so to speak. How do you make someone smile at you? By smiling at them yourself first. Works just fine
How do you make someone happy?
Go First.
One of the basic rules in hypnosis. You start. If you want to get someone to relax, it doesn't help to start yelling like a jackass that they MUST UNSPACE! You know that yourself, it's not higher mathematics. If you very calmly tell the person that he can close his eyes and relax ....
Heeeeeeerlijkkk
Want to make someone cranky? Start first yourself. Works great, too. Angry, start by yourself. Depressed? Start yourself. Everything is state.
When I go into hypnosis and we have a connection you just go with me. Why? We all have those nice mirror neurons. When I take a glass of water and drink it you tend to do the same.
Indeed, if I think about it at all, the same pattern lights up in your brain.
Isn't that interesting?
So do you want more joyful people around you? Be joyful yourself, just tune in.
Tuning in? Yeah, you know that one? You're feeling shit and Harry the happy egg comes in. Mister positivo starts yelling Tjakka at you. Probably just makes you feel shitter. So do start a little on the other person's level and then bring it along.
Get my point? A smile often works just fine.
So when you go shopping today, take on this experiment. First you look at someone very grumpy and act very grumpy and then once at someone you act happy and smile.
And then realize how much influence you can have with those around you.
Beautiful day!
