The Power of Smiling & The Facial Feedback Loop

We know from research that smiling is not only your body's natural response to happiness, but (through the facial feedback loop), when you smile, it can also make you happy. When you smile, you’re happier and more positive, so more likely to have a positive explanatory style, have a growth mindset, be more creative, have more gratitude, more resilience, and notice more of these things in others.

It’s a pretty great win:win:win!

NOTE: There’s a bit of contention about the EXACT number of times that adults & children smile per day… but there’s agreement that children smile WAY more than adults. :)

Smiling is one of the best phenomena a person can pull. I have personally experienced when I smile and laugh, it reduces negative energy and fills me with positive energy. When I am smiling through difficult and rough times, it keeps me physically and mentally healthy, not to mention the calories we burn during the act of smiling. Stay healthy and smiley!
