An article on ‘ Keep Smiling ’
Life is not a
bed of roses and sometimes no matter how young or old you are, you go through
tough times. Though your family’s support is important in such situations, what
is equally important is that you do not give up. Smiling in such tough times
can help you. Here are some of the reasons why you must smile:
·
Boost of happiness: Try forcing yourself to
smile for thirty seconds right now. The great feelings that make you smile
works in reverse too. By making yourself smile, no matter how you feel, your
body will start to release all those wonderful chemicals that makes you feel
happy. Try it right now and feel the difference.
·
A smile changes your state: if you feel
frustrated, angry or bored a smile changes your emotional state. And a positive
state is not just more fun but also opens up to other possibilities in your
mind. You will see the world differently through a happier lens. And then you
can start building on that to have a string of positive actions and
interactions with other people throughout the day.

A smile changes other people’s state : walking
into a room or up to the counter in a store with a smile on your face can make
a world of difference. People will smile back at you and be more helpful and
any social tension or awkwardness will melt away. And your interactions will be
more open, relaxed and filled with fun and possibilities.

Well, why shouldn’t you smile: When choosing
between a frown, a blank expression or a smile the last choice seems to be the
most productive and positive choice, doesn’t it? Sure, often you will forget to
smile or may be you just don’t feel like it. But if you try to remember it and use
it more often you will soon develop a new habit.

It’s easier to smile than frowning: You actually
use less muscles while smiling than while frowning or making an angry face.
Well, that’s probably what you have heard at least.
