What are the benefits of smiling?

Today we want to share with you some benefits that a small action like smiling could bring to your life.

Smile to be happier

Smiling has a very positive effect on oneself. There is a communication system between the brain and the body. Information from the brain goes to the muscles when something makes us happy and the brain gives the command to the face to smile. It has been proven that simulating an emotion can actually trigger it. So try smiling a little more, even on sad days, and you will start to feel better.

Smiling to provoke positive emotions

Smiling will not only cheer you up, but also those around you. You may find that it has a contagious effect - give it a try! If you smile at a stranger on the street, it is very likely that they will smile back. Even if you think it's out of politeness, it's really because it happens because of the mirror effect of neurons. When you smile back you will induce a positive change in the other person's emotional state.

Smile to make them trust you

A genuine smile is a sign that we are someone who can be trusted. People are perceived as more friendly, sociable, generous and outgoing. This makes a big difference for example in a job interview, the real and natural smile of the interviewee will show him/her as trustworthy and sociable so it will possibly make it easier to work in a team, which in most cases is necessary.

Smiling for better health

Some scientific studies have proven that smiling releases endorphins, serotonin, and other natural painkillers produced by our body. Smiling has been associated with the reduction of hormones that cause stress (adrenaline, cortisol, and dopamine), helps in lowering blood pressure so you could say it is a natural drug. So cheer up and smile at people who are having a hard time too.
