Smile!
By
It isn’t really necessary for me to tell you that smiling is good for you, that it is associated with good things in our lives. You already know it. You knew it every time you smiled when you learned something new or how something worked.
Your mother knew it too when she smiled at you when you were born. When you made a new friend or got a new job or earned a good grade on your test, a smile was there. You did let out a little bit of a smile, even if it was the crinkles around your beaming eyes.
Maybe you didn’t notice because you weren’t looking in the mirror, and maybe nobody saw you or acknowledged or told you, but every time there was joy in your life, there was a smile.
A smile, like a picture, transcends cultural boundary and conceptual boundaries.
There is alchemy, a magical science, behind the smile. It can infect the world with laughter, joy and humor, all of which boost the functioning of the mind, the brain, and the intelligence. It actually reinforces and adds texture to our experience of positive emotions, like appreciation, happiness or love.
