Smile and Put on Your Happy Face

The value of a smile cannot be underestimated. I am a born smiler and it has been a valuable asset. Here you will find reasons, why you should adopt the "smile habit" as well!

"Smile and the Whole World Smiles with You"...do you remember that song?

Google Search the term "the benefits of smiling" and you will get tons of results and it seems to be going up each day! I had to keep changing the amount of results so for now I will stop posting ! Do you need any more evidence?

So put on your happy face already! It does not cost a dime and your face looks so much prettier with a smile gracing it!

Check out my cat in the photo. He has his "off" days... but not many.

I wish to share that funny little picture, because that is the way many of us spend our days, with exactly that kind of face. I personally know someone that comes in to work wearing that face regularly and it is not a great way to start the day....for her, or for the rest of her coworkers!

Is that you? Hopefully not!

"A smile is an inexpensive way to change your looks".

- Charles Gordy

Optimists smile and their outlook on life promotes healthier life-styles and longevity. And if the glass is half full as opposed to half empty consider this: it is physically the same condition. Why be negative when there is no reason to do so?

There is a Difference Between a Fake and a Genuine Smile!

A real smile can't be faked! Hmm. I think we all know that by observing people. You don't know why, but something tells you when someone is faking it. There is scientific proof from studies done that real smiles go all the way to the eyes, while fake ones involve only the muscles around the mouth.

Genuine smiles are involuntary and can't be conjured up at will...so practice at being happy and smiling when you are truly "blissed out" will give you the ability to do one of those smiles that light up a room... those are the ones that are contagious. Did you ever look at a smiling baby and felt compelled to smile back? That was a real smile at work!

We have a choice at any given moment...

To smile or not to smile. There is data to suggest, even if you do not feel like it, if you smile, your mood will improve. Personally, I think it is worth a try, at least your co workers will feel better!

"Everytime you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing."

- Mother Teresa

So from now on, smile even if you don't feel like it. Maybe, just maybe, a few hours later you will find you are doing it naturally! After all, two million websites endorsing it can'tallbe wrong!
