Smiling improves your Health....So go on.. Do it!!!.....Smile...

cookclan by cookclan Young Parent(June 2007) (rank 3rd)
Smiling...What can it do for us? How does a simple smile affect yours and any other persons day...Have you ever been walking in the shops and someone smile at you? What was your reaction from a simple smile out of the blue? I know what mine is...I smile back...

You see smiles are one of the only things that are contagious and will not make you sick!...You try it turn to one of your kids and smile at them and see what they do...A smile is definately contagious and its a good type of contagious if you ask me...

There is not only reasons for us to do this for other people to make their day there is also some other great reasons for us ourselves...Did you know these points?

  • Smiling makes you attractive...Everyone likes a smiling face...They draw us in...
  • Smiling is a mood changer...When you feel low and sad try smiling..Chances are you will feel better...
  • Smiling Relieves stress...When you are really stressed it shows in your face...Smiling can help us not to look so tired...So take time when you are stressed to put a happy smile on...
  • Smiling actually helps you immune system to work better..It is thought this is because people who smile are more relaxed...People who are more positive get less colds and flus!!
  • Smiling releases endorphins, Serotin, and natural pain killers...So I suppose you could say that smiling is a high from ALL NATURAL drugs...hehe
  • Smiling helps to make you look younger...It helps to lift the muscles...So keep smiling people...
  • Smiling helps you stay positive... When life gets you down and things look like they can get no worse you can still smile...There has to be a positive somewhere....

So when the kids come home and not just the kids all the adults in your house too...With that grumpy face or feeling down tell them to smile it is good for their health...
So go on smile...I am...I will leave you with this poem I had sent to me in an email by a friend. to think about now...

Smiling is infectious, you catch it like the flu,
When someone smiled at me today, I started smiling too,
I passed around a corner and someone saw me grin,
When he smiled I realised I passed it on to him,
I thought about the smile and then i realised its worth,
A single smile just like mine could travel round the earth,
So if you feel a smile begin don't leave it undetected,
Lets start an epidemic quick!! and get the world infected.

Have a great day
And smile
Cheers
Angie

My favourite little phrase about smiling has never failed to make someone crack a smile yet.

"SMILE! It makes people wonder what you're up to!"

Cheers, DA

Smiling is all those things and more!  It is a gift that you give to yourselves and others...  I smile when I am out and about, even if I am grumped - it draws people to you, and eventually that makes you feel so good that the smile doesn't have to be faked anymore.

Thanks for sharing something that we all need to remember to do more

Hi
I smile because you have all finally driven me insane.
I smile because they haven't found the bodies yet and
I smile because it makes people wonder what you have been up to
Luv Deb

Ah, didn't see your comment before I posted mine!

Another alteration of it is: "I smile because I know what you've been up to!

A friend of mine walking down a corridor with me tried to cheer up a very miserable looking girl that was going past. He said, "Smile, it's not really that bad." to which she just raised an eyebrow as if to say 'what would you know!' Then for some reason I burst out with "and if it really was that bad, smile, the worst is over!" I have no idea where it came from or why it worked, but she completely lost it and burst into laughter, as did my friend. That made me smile for the rest of the day.

It takes less muscles to smile then it does to frown!! lol  Try smiling when you answer your phone as well its amazing how you can hear a smile, I used to answer phones in the family business and if I was having a crappy day the clients always new if I smiled I had one client that used to say thats better its good to hear you smile.

Great Advice, a smile makes you feel better and also those around you. Plus it takes more muscles to smile than frown, so go smile's go!

Don't forget to laugh too - apparently two hearty laughs a day is actually quite good for your body.
