# How Smiling can help you have an amazing holiday

By Tony Piper,  September 2, 2019 •  [confidence](https://tonypiper.coach/tags/confidence) [smile](https://tonypiper.coach/tags/smile) 

I recently coached a client who was going on a dream holiday to the USA. His partner loves Theme Park rides. But he was really anxious, and didn't want that to spoil the holiday.

So I told him about smiling and how it sets you up for confidence.

He just messaged me.

"Just got back from the US. I went on pretty much every ride at Disney. I enjoyed all the rides (more than I thought I would). I just remembered what we talked about in regards to keep smiling. So I did that, and I just decided that even if I didn’t enjoy it, it would be over in a couple of minutes anyway"

How cool is that? 💥

What have you got to do today that scares you?

And what would happen if you smile as you did it? 😁
