Smile!


smile!, originally uploaded by sean-b.

Smiling isn’t just an involuntary display of happiness. It is also a primal response to positive situations, and can have a profound affect on our health, our psychology, and our appearance.

When we smile, our bodies automatically release endorphins. This causes us to feel good, and relaxes our body acting as a stress reducer. Smiling also boosts your immune system, and lowers your blood pressure.

When you smile, the muscles in your face are built and you take on a naturally youthful expression. Smiling also communicates openness to others, giving you countless opportunities to receive positive energy from strangers, friends, and family alike.

Even when you don’t “feel” like smiling, by making yourself smile—even when you’re alone—you can improve your mood and overall outlook. Try giving yourself a big smile each morning before you head out of the bathroom. Regardless of what happens when you go out in to the world, you’ll have the foundation for a great day.
