The ANTS strategy is a new one on me and I like it! A positive
attitude is something I try hard to push out to those around me
although like everyone else I have good and bad days.

All I know for sure is that a smile costs very little to give out and
the rewards can be too large to measure.

Because what we think and do has such a huge impact on how we feel, I am sure the strategy you have suggested of consciously showing a positive behaviour will help lift mood. Something what I try to do is "kill the ANTS"! The ants are Auotmatic Negative Thoughts that we all have from time to time. If we can consciously recognise the negative tapes and replace them with more realistic and truthful ones, we are likely to affect our mood, and that of those around us too.
