Hugies Pharmacy in Ikorodu wishes you a happy new month of February, it’s a month of love, let’s learn about being cheerful.

February

February is the shortest month of the year (even in leap years, when it has 29 days instead of 28), but there’s no shortage of interesting facts about it.

It is perhaps best known for—Valentine’s Day on Feb. 14 which denotes love, cheerfulness

How does this relate to your health?

For a patient, it’s easy to get depressed, lose hope or feel frustrated. When you get injured, in pain, lose your independence, and are forced to live away from home, it’s difficult to feel positive or happy.

As a health worker, seeing people in pain, depressed, angry, or frustrated every day can prove quite trying. While it takes a lot of patience and compassion to serve others who are challenged by difficult situations.

Cheerful benefits

1. Either ways, cheerfulness makes the “job” easier

“Being cheerful makes the job easier, so I just work at staying in that frame of mind. And it helps everyone—the patients and me.” said by a health worker

Put a smile on your face, say a kind word, crack a joke, or offer a positive thought. You’ll be amazed at the response you get from the other person—and at how much easier what you have to do becomes. Patients become more relaxed and willing to comply with requests, and caregivers become kinder and more willing to help and listen.

2.  We all encounter difficult situations in life but we can stay cheerful

Your situation might be different. perhaps you struggle with a horrible boss, long work hours, or a project from hell. Or your marriage could be failing. Maybe you’ve had surgery or suffer from a long-term illness. Maybe you have business or financial concerns.

The struggle or challenge doesn’t matter. A cheerful attitude makes whatever you are going through easier to bear. It also helps you deal with it with less stress.

3. What about you? Can you keep a cheerful countenance?

Wouldn’t you flow through your days with a smile on your face, and a kind and uplifting word for all you meet—no matter what is happening in your life or theirs? Can you make others happy and ease their pain simply by being cheerful?

Let’s practice cheerfulness this February.
