Smiling Through Whatever

So yesterday I had a mammogram and a filling replaced. While waiting for the mammogram a lady seated across from me looked particularly anxious. I commented on that and she shared she was there for the same procedure I was. I talked to her about lowering the veil of anxiety and breathing to reduce her anxiousness. After my procedure I let her know the technician was gentle and she'd be fine.

The day's focus was on smiling... the focus of day 2 of the Season for Non Violence. It really makes a difference to keep a smile on your face as you move through your day. Even the dentist visit was easier! Interacting with clerks and looking at other drivers with a smile makes the interaction more heart felt. Maybe you tried it too?

Each day I'm posting on the Unity Facebook page that day's focus to help us promote a Season for Non Violence which runs for 64 days from Jan. 30 to April 4th.
