Benefits of Smiling and Laughing!

So many people nowadays don't smile or laugh as often as they used to. Many of us are stressed about financial obligations, health related issues, work, or relationships. Negativity spreads way too fast in my opinion and I believe that we need to reverse that effect in our own lives and let positivity flow out of us. "Be the change you wish to see in the world." It takes a little bit of effort but I have a solution that I use a lot if I notice I am feeling uneasy or negative about something. Smile. Smiling takes anywhere from 5-53 muscles in your body to smile. If you are upset about something, force yourself to smile and feel your spirits lift. It is also very good for your health and especially helps to build a stronger immune system. When you smile at someone, it is contagious. Smile at the next person you see and 99% of them will smile right back and pass it on. A smile is the universal sign of happiness and acceptance. Smiling also helps your appearance, and studies show that people who smile more get promoted over those that do not smile.

In the hard times, even when you look at your life and feel like you have nothing to smile about or laugh at, start forcing yourself to smile and your perspective on your life will begin to change. You will start seeing the more positive side of your life, the stress slowly melts away leaving room for enjoyment and excitement about things once again. People hate being around Debbie Downers all day but love being around happy positive people much more.

Studies show that people who smile and laugh throughout the day live longer, healthier, happier lives than those that rarely laugh. Start today and even if it is extremely hard, go to the bathroom mirror at work or in your cubicle and smile. Tomorrow, add in a laugh and for the next two weeks do the same thing everyday.
