~ 10 Reasons to Smile ~
1. Smiling Makes Us 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 so good. Frowns, scowls and grimaces all
push people away -- but a smile draws them in.
2. Smiling Changes Our Mood
Next time you are feeling down, try putting on a smile. There's a good
chance you mood will change for the better. Smiling can trick the body
into helping you change your mood.
3. Smiling Is Contagious
When someone is smiling they lighten up the room, change the moods of
others, and make things happier. A smiling person brings happiness with
them. Smile lots and you will draw people to you.
4. 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. The stress should be reduced and you'll be
better able to take action.
5. Smiling Boosts Your Immune System
Smiling helps the immune system to work better. When you smile, immune
function improves possibly because you are more relaxed. Prevent the flu
and colds by smiling.
6. 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, take a reading. Then smile for a minute and take another
reading while still smiling. Do you notice a difference?
7. Smiling Releases Endorphins, Natural Pain Killers and Serotonin
Studies have shown that smiling releases endorphins, natural pain
killers, and serotonin. Together these three make us feel good. Smiling
is a natural drug.
8. 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 face lift, just try smiling your way through the
day -- you'll look younger and feel better.
9. 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.
10. Smiling Helps You Stay Positive
Try this test: Smile. Now try to think of something negative without
losing the smile. It's hard. When we smile our body is sending the rest
of us a message that "Life is Good!" Stay away from depression, stress
and worry by smiling.
