Smiles are Magical & Contagious
"Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy" - Thich Nhat Hahn
Smiling literally shifts the neuro transmissions in your brain reducing stress and making you happier. So fake it till you make it!
The secret to your smile’s power is in the fact that your body recognizes happiness and smiling as going together. When the chemicals in your brain create the feeling of happiness, you will naturally smile. And fortunately, when you smile, your body often responds by producing those same “happiness hormones.” (In case you are interested, those chemicals are dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphins.)
