Well, yes Michael, I can see your point here. I gave it some thought and I have done that myself in my own business. I know that my business is all about presentation and that my clients have nothing to do with my personal struggles. Yes, often that smile and the acting CAN actually bring some relief to the struggle with personal lows. And yes, I agree about the smile, it does have a positive effect on the mind.
I have actually talked to my students about that.

My concern though was to also address the emotional struggle itself and to see why this feeling is coming out. I have been working on this myself because what I struggle with has to stop being surpressed and instead addressed and resolved.
I like how Perna used the family tradition about meals that were so ingrained in her.
It is a good way to look at how well we can be engrained with certain ways of thinking unknowingly.
