Smiling eases tension and releases endorphins, which are organic mood enhancers. In addition to making you seem more personable and reliable, smiling increases the likelihood that someone may want to assist you in times of need. Thus, don’t be scared to try smiling the next time you’re feeling down.
When you give a warm and friendly smile, often others will smile back. You get a moment of feeling connected and accepted, and you spread happiness.
Smiling can help reduce stress. When you smile, your heart rate slows and other stress indicators go away faster than if you don’t smile. Smiling can lengthen your lifespan.
Maybe you are sleepy from adjusting to daylight saving time, or maybe you haven’t had enough coffee yet. Maybe you don’t feel like smiling for whatever reason. Did you know smiling can help improve your mood?
