Quotes That Will Get You Smiling
Of all the languages and cultures in the world, a universal way to express joy and happiness is to just smile. A smile is friendly, it’s inviting, and it’s seriously contagious. Smiles can affect your own mood, but it also makes those around you feel more at ease. There are studies that show smiling can improve productivity, and it invigorates us while simultaneously suppressing negative emotions.
In fact, every time we smile, our brain releases tiny molecules known as neuropeptides that actively fight off stress. Even forcing a smile can be a great way to improve your mood and release endorphins that act as a mild pain reliever. Some studies have also shown that smiling can help you recover from stressful situations and also reduce your heart rate. This helps you calm down and eases your worries, especially during tense situations.
So it’s clear that there are plenty of great benefits to smiling, but wouldn’t it be great to have a genuine reason to smile whenever you need a little motivational boost to uplift yourself?
