Here are 10 reasons people should smile more:

Smiling is a Universal Language we all understand

Smiling spreads joy

Smiling makes you more attractive

Smiling is contagious

Smiling requires less effort than frowning because fewer facial muscles are used.

Smiling builds relationships. It bridges the gaps between us.

Smiling puts you and others at ease

Smiling makes you more confident

Smiling changes your brain chemistry

Smiling attracts more of the same energy* to you.

Here is a super simple fact about energy: It is attracted to the same kind of energy. Like energy attracts like energy. When we breath, feel and live from our heart energy, we attract more of the same. This is otherwise known as the law of attraction

Develyn Steele says,”Smiling changes your attitude, raises your confidence, and makes you more attractive.” Whether you believe it or not, smiling changes how you feel. If you doubt this, then start smiling and thinking positive thoughts and see what develops. You will find that you can’t help but have a more elevated attitude known as Pratipaksha Bhavana when you smile, or even think about when you were last smiling.

You see, smiling affects our emotions because of a body-brain connection. It triggers scientifically measurable activity in the left frontal cortex of the brain where happiness is registered. In fact, of the 44 muscles of the face that allow us to create more than 5000 different types of expressions, each of those expressions will have a unique effect on the way you feel and how OTHERS feel about you.

When you smile with your heart, your thoughts naturally cultivate positive thinking at the same time. Love yourself, love your day, love your life!
