Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!
Here Are My Tips For Building Resiliency On World Smile Day:
Use it.
Even if you don't feel like smiling, fake it until you make it. There is a theory entitled the facial feedback hypothesis. Research has shown that the muscles in our face that allow us to smile, actually stimulate our brain. And when this part of the brain is stimulated, it makes us feel happy.
Share it.
There are friendly smiles and romantic smiles. There are many different smiles and different ways the act of smiling can be done. Smiles can communicate feelings, show kindness, or help take someone's mind off their problems.
So for today, smile.
It's free and it's easy to do, and it is good for you!
