Why Smile?
No matter what you’re currently facing, just smile.:) Why? Because smiling, according to an article on verywellmind.com, elevates your mood. And if you’re facing something that affects your mood, all the more you should try smiling. I’d tried to force a smile on my face when I was feeling really down on more than one occasion and it worked for me.:)
If you’re feeling blue right now, and if you can’t force yourself to smile, maybe you could think back to those times in the past when something or someone made you smile.
Benefits of Smiling?
Smiling is a stress reliever. We’re living in a fast-paced world where stress is inevitable, and so it’s good to smile more. Smiling also makes you happier. Smiling could give you a youthful appearance too and …it’s free, as Tom Wilson has aptly put it: “A smile is a facelift that’s in everyone’s price range.” So for all the ladies out there, you might want to smile more (that is, if you want to look youthful and yet don’t want to spend any money on facial products, etc).:)
Smile?
It’s not easy to smile when you’re facing troubles, especially if you’re facing all kinds of troubles that seek to get you down. But it’s during such times that you should try to smile more. If you find it hard to smile, maybe you could watch comedies or listen to jokes?
Make Others Smile
You could make yourself smile by making others smile. How? You could do something for them that is pleasant and unexpected. Perform an act of kindness for a total stranger when you’re feeling blue or when you’re experiencing emotional pain, because it’s likely to put a smile on your face when the other person responds with a smile and a “Thank you”. When you’re helping others, you’re helping yourself. It’s true.
World Smile Day is on the first Friday in October and it falls on 1st October this year. Are you already thinking of how to celebrate it?
