Do You Have Reasons To Smile?

Smiling Is Therapeutic Wear a Regular Smile. Do you have reasons to smile? Is a re-thoric question to ask. The reason being that many of us seem to believe that we have no control over how terrible we feel based on our circumstances. Somebody can say how can I feel happy and be smiling when I have no job when I’m broke, or when my girlfriend/boyfriend just dumped me/ How can I feel happy looking at how the stock market is performing or listening to the daily news?

How can I be smiling amid all these confusions, conflicts, hunger, stress, and disappointments? Of course, one can react like that. But studies have equally shown that our outward experiences influence our feelings when we allow them to. Therefore, that’s why we should have reasons why we must live to smile, to be happy regardless of the external events or challenges of life. Our thoughts negatively or positively influence how we behave or react to life. I have experienced it and have observed it from even family members that our moodiness stems from our negative thoughts. That’s why it is important for you to realize that happiness is more of a choice.

To begin with, how often do you smile? What keeps you smiling? Or Why is smiling hard for you? I know during my teenage years; some people told me I took myself self so seriously. Truth be told, it was an honest observation. Because I know I was reticent and hardly laugh. I wear a scowling face than a smiling face more often. How about you? How do people read your body language starting from your facial expression? We can learn the habit of smiling and being friendly. I believe that we all have reasons to wear a smile as makeup than we even realize.

People liked my quiet demeanor but hated the fact that I seemed unapproachable, because my face looked serious, often. It was how I come to know that first impression matters. Our body language wherever we are at any stage matters. People judge us by our attitudes, not by our thoughts, which nobody can see.

1. Smiling Gives You a Social Pass

What do I mean by that? It means that wearing a smiling face gives you a social boost wherever you go. With a beautiful smile, people can take you as a saint. It will make you look rich, even when you’re broke. How often do you smile? I know if we judge by the messy world of today, everybody will wear a scowling face. And that seems to be trendy, It ought not to be, because we have a lot to laugh for than cry about.

Smiling gives you self-confidence to interact or connect with others, because your smile is like extending a right hand of fellowship. It draws people close to you, unless a person with offensive odor:-)

 Socially, your smiling face attracts people to you instead of repelling them. Everyone wants cheerful people around them, people who can serve as painkillers to their aching minds. Smiling is contagious have you noticed that? Smile at somebody genuinely and the person will return the same gesture.5 Important Benefits of a Positive Attitude
