Are you aware :: what this simple physical act does?

Ready to lift your spirits, try this…

SMILE

The physical act of smiling has been proven to actually make us happier!!

Those close to me have often heard these words come out of my mouth - but now, I actually have the science to prove my gut feeling!!

Nerd tip :: the stimulation of our zygomaticus major muscles, pulling up the edges of our mouths into a smile - has been proven to elevate our mood, our emotions; while simulation of the depressor anguli oris mucles - turning our mouths into frowns has shown to negatively impact our happiness levels!

Take smiling to laughing, I won’t even get started how this ignites our overall well-being … yet!

So, next time you’re feeling off - give this small physical act of smiling a try - solo, with a friend, a family member, a colleague, a business partner (you get it!!) - even if you don’t feel like it - and experience the visceral reward!!!
