Psychological research suggests that we often begin to feel as we behave. In several research studies, students who were instructed to make their faces smile (surreptitiously) found comics more humorous.

What does this mean for you? Act as you´d like to feel. If you want to feel happy, force yourself to smile. Research suggests that you´ll soon feel the emotion that goes with the facial expression.
