Change Your Happiness One Smile At A Time

Experiment: Smile At Everyone! Just a quick smile can brighten your mood and someone elses.


Why Should You Do This?


Facial expressions are very powerful. They often set the mood the moment you walk into a room. Before a word is spoken you know whether the conversation is going to be positive, neutral or negative. Did you also know that you hold the power of changing the mood. Yes you!


Just because someone is frowning that does not mean that you have to return a frown. Try returning a smile or if you are not in a smiling mood at least try a smirk. I guarantee you will feel better and the other person will immediately feel more comfortable around you. Also, in some cases you will find the other individual cannot help but return you a smile. Have you ever had a staring contest with your friend or sibling? If you have then you know that smiling is often contagious.


There are many reasons you may decide to start sharing more smiles. For me, the reason to spread smiles and happiness is simply to attempt to make people happier and more positive. In doing so I will enable myself and others to live longer, happier and healthier lives.


If you take a moment to look around at people (include yourself) you will notice the huge number of neutral or frowning faces. This is just not right! Life is too short not to smile.


I have found that when passing a smile to strangers they often disregard it and do not care to share one in return. Perhaps they are in a bad mood or stuck with the habit of looking away from people when they realize another is looking at them. Do not let this discourage you! Someone will return the favor!


Simple Reasons To Smile More

• 1 smile can induce the same brain level stimulation as up to 2000 bars of chocolate :)

Give this a try for your own happiness sake! Change your life and change others.
