TGI….Everyday!! And even though today isn’t Friday, today is one of those days that is going to be so good that it will feel like it is!
Today’s Daily Word is dedicated to Smiling! It is a known fact that a smile brightens up rooms. People who always smile have this energy about them, and they always seem more in control, at ease, and of course,
more attractive (I, too, am a chronic smiler!).
Despite the external and perceived benefits of smiling, studies have now shown that there is a strong connection between smiling and ones overall well-being. A study conducted by the British Dental Health Foundation showed that smiling can dramatically improve one’s mood. It helps you feel happy, as well as those around you. It improves your confidence, allows you to be better received by others, reduces anxiety, stress, and even your blood pressure, according to Mark Stibich, a Ph.D. at Columbia University.
The point is this….. unless you work for the Secret Service, FBI, are on a security detail for a high profile client, a boxer, MMA fighter, or a professional gangster, it doesn’t pay to frown! Smiling will not only help you with any adversity you may be dealing with, but it will also help those around you (which in actuality still helps you… Remember you reap what you sow).
Starting today, I need you to practice smiling as often as you take breaths, and while that may be asking for too much, I guarantee you that this simple act will brighten up your day and move you in a positive
direction! It takes 17 muscles to smile and 43 to frown! Stop wasting your energy and become that ray of joy that will improve your existence! Say Cheeeeese!!! The World is Watching!!!
