Smiling Reduces Stress

So Smile!

Sometimes that's all it takes

“Sometimes

all it takes

is a smile

to make everything

feel better”

Isn’t this so true!

To me personally,

a smile means

‘life is alright after all’.

How about you?

When we’re walking down to the shops,

and see someone smile at us,

we ‘automatically’ smile back,

it’s such a natural thing to do.

When you smile at people,

how many of them

do not smile back?

I think it’s a ‘human trait’

to always show the world

that everything is alright.

Even if it’s not!

None of us know

what is going on

in someone else’s life,

no matter how close we are

to that particular person.

What we can do

is to make sure

that we smile

whenever we meet him or her,

to show that person

that we care about them

and think about them.

And that “Smile”

can make all the difference

to that person’s day

(or even their life).

When someone smiles at you,

even a stranger,

how do you feel?

A “Smile” is free

and takes very little ‘effort’,

so there really is no excuse

not to smile.

We are very conscious of our mental health,

so the question is:

can a “Smile” help my mind?

The answer is “YES”,

for the person “Smiling” and

for the person who receives that “Smile”.

“Smiling” reduces stress and

enhances Positive Emotions.

When something is good for us,

we should do “It”

as much as possible.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
