How do you get started on this? What people are you genuinely happy to see? How do you show it? Can you 'fake it' until you make it? Or as Amy Cuddy says 'fake it until you become it?' Is there self talk that makes it easier to show enthusiasm or harder to?

You definitely don't want it to seem fake or ingenuine, but I do think you can get yourself in the mindset a bit by smiling more (and possibly listening to upbeat music before you greet people).

Music is an excellent way to shape mood. What is your favorite Happy song? I like Happy by Pharrell Williams. The Mister Rodger's theme is good too.
