“Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose. “ Lyndon B. Johnson

Have you ever wondered why being around children who smile so frequently makes you smile very often? A recent study at Uppsala University in Sweden found that it’s very difficult to frown when looking at someone who smiles. Because smiling is evolutionary contagious and it suppresses the control we usually have on our facial muscles. Mimicking a smile and experiencing it physically help us to understand whether our smile is fake or real.

British researchers found that one smile can generate the same level of brain stimulation as up to 2000 bars of chocolate. The same study found that smiling is as stimulating as receiving up to 16 000 pounds sterling in cash.

Unlike lots of chocolate, lots of smiling can actually make you healthier. Smiling can help reduce the level of stress enhancing or mood enhancing hormones like cortisol or adrenaline, and reduce overall blood pressure.

And if that’s not enough, smiling can make you look good in the eyes of others. A recent study at Penn State University found that when you smile, you do not only appear to be more likeable and courteous, but you appear to be more competent.

Thus, smiling makes us attractive, changes our mood, relieves stress, boosts your immune system lowers your blood pressure, lifts the face and makes you look younger, makes you seem successful, helps you stay positive. On the other hand, smiling not always means that a person is happy, sometimes it means that a person is strong !

So, whenever you want to look great and competent, reduce your stress or improve your life, or feel as if you just had a whole stack of high-quality chocolate , or whenever you want to tap into a superpower that will help you and everyone round  you live a longer, healthier and happier life – SMILE !

 Once, Charlie Chaplin said “I have many problems in my life, but my lips do not know that, they always smile.”

 So, be stronger and happier with your smile that will become the universal language of well-being.

“Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.”

P.S. We also found that good results in IQ test also make people happy with their pleasant smiles on their faces.

Just write your IQ test and if results are not perfect, REMEMBER : If something does not go right, go left ;)
