Recall a recent accomplishment and smile
Por qué este hábito ayuda
UCLA brain scans show that recalling successes while smiling creates a 'double dopamine hit' - both the memory and facial feedback reinforce positive neural pathways.
This combines the 'reminiscence bump' effect (vivid recall of recent events) with the facial feedback hypothesis (smiling alters emotional state regardless of mood).

Resumen rápido
Ancient Roman leaders wore victory laurels not just for show - the physical reminder of success boosted confidence for new challenges. Modern psychology confirms this 'success anchoring' effect.
Your brain's reticular activating system prioritizes what you focus on. Regularly recalling accomplishments trains it to spot more success opportunities.

💬 Tus Historias de Éxito
During job hunting rejections, I started recalling tiny wins like 'organized my closet' while smiling. It felt silly until interviews where I noticed new confidence. Now I teach this to unemployed clients - one landed a job after practicing daily for 2 weeks!
