"no-one needs a smile

as much as a person

who fails to give one"

Anon

I'm addicted to smiling, I must admit. Many school children in the schools that I frequent, actually refer to me as Mrs Smiley and ponder on why can I be so happy all of the time. In actual fact, they can't resist, I smile at them, they smile back, we smile at each other, we laugh, we feel good, our day has been improved!


Smiling is good for you, you can't deny that simple fact, it's like a light illuminating from within, smiling makes us feel good about ourselves, attractive. Its' uncanny, we're drawn to those who smile, they look warm, welcoming, you are drawn in. There is nothing worse than those who frown, scowl, their grimaces pushing you away. It's up to us, to smile, to invite, to spread a ray of sunshine per se' on their dark and cloudy day

Its' scientifically noted that smiling can alter our mood, send out the right endorphins to create a sense of feeling good of oneself' and therefore allowing us to move ahead on what perhaps wasn't the best of days to start with.

Of course, as before mentioned, its' contagious, it relieves stress. Our world is not the easiest place to live in at times, events and situations impact greatly on our lives, the strain and stress is evident upon our faces, upon those faces around us that we love and care for too. Smiling can actually relieve stress, of course, its' not what we feel like doing at that particular point in time, but when you are stressed, its' important to not only stand back for a moment of personal space and time, but to smile and remember, I can get through this! Not only to your own inner persona, smiling boosts your immune system, it relaxes you and allows your body the chance to heal from within. Likewise it lowers blood pressure and reconnects all inner pysche' back into harmony. With your lure of inner peace and calm, smiling can actually help you be successful, your approachable,you see at peace with everything, like you can conquer the world, your approachable, and by smiling at those around you, your boss, your colleagues, people will react differently and of course be drawn to your persona!

Life is good when you smile, spread the word, smile at a complete stranger and see what difference you can make!
