Why we aught to SMILE more


Smiling Gives you a Better Life


Smiling Helps You Stay Positive

Go ahead and smile right now. Now, try to think of something without losing the smile. It’s not easy. When we smile we are sending ourselves the message that ‘life is good!’ Smiling helps us to stay positive, confident and it reduces depression, stress and worrying.


Smiling Makes You More Attractive
We are drawn to people who smile. There is an attraction factor. We want to know a smiling person and figure out what is making them so happy. Frowns, scowls and grimaces all push people away — but a smile draws them in.

Smiling is Contagious

When someone is smiling they lighten up the room, change the mood of others and make things happier. A smiling person brings happiness with them. Smile more and you will draw people to you.
Next time you go somewhere try smiling to everyone who looks at you.  Count how many of them can't help but to smile right back.  You'll be surprised!

Smiling Relieves Stress

Stress can really show up in our faces. Smiling helps to prevent us from looking tired, worn down and overwhelmed. When you are stressed, take time to put on a smile. Your stress should be reduced and you’ll be better able to take action.

Smiling Boosts Your Immune System

Smiling helps the immune system to work better. When you smile, immune function improves because you are more relaxed. Prevent the flu and colds by smiling.

Smiling Lowers Your Blood Pressure

When you smile, there is a measurable reduction in your blood pressure. Give it a try if you have a blood pressure monitor at home. Sit for a few minutes and take a reading. Then smile for a minute and take another reading while still smiling. Do you notice a difference?

Smiling Releases powerful chemicals in our bodies

Studies have shown that smiling releases endorphins, natural painkillers and serotonin. Together these three make us feel good. Smiling is a natural drug.

Smiling Lifts the Face and Makes You Look Younger

The muscles we use to smile lift the face — making a person appear younger. Don’t go for a facelift, just try smiling your way through the day to look younger and feel better.

Smiling Makes You Seem Successful

Smiling people appear more confident, are more likely to be promoted and more likely to be approached. Put on a smile at meetings and appointments and people will react to you differently.

"If you chance to meet a frown, do not let is stay. Quickly turn in upside down and smile that frown away.  No one likes a frowny face, change it for a smile.  Make the world a better place by smiling all the while."
