The smile is the best tonic for our mind and body. It takes thirteen muscles
to smile, but forty-three to be angry. So, it is easier to smile and difficult to
be angry. To be cheerful, we have to create positive thoughts. On the other
hand, if we constantly think about negative things, we feel unhappy. So, the
best way to avoid a negative idea is to replace it with a positive one. When
we are relaxed in bed, we should practise putting some cheerful thoughts.
