Smile at the world and the world will smile at you, it is said. No one doubts that a smile is a powerful weapon. But does it really have the power to influence our mood, the people around us, or even the day we experience? It seems so.
The mood you wake up with in the morning largely affects your mood in the hours ahead. If you are not getting up with a song on your lips, it does not mean that your whole day will be a huge flop, in any case it is desirable to try to switch to positive mode. A smile will help with this, even a pretended one. Both natural and forced smiles start producing oxytocin and serotonin, which naturally improve mood and reduce stress. And with such equipment, the day starts much easier.
Smiling is one of the fastest and easiest ways to make a social connection with another person. Most people rate a smiling face up to 34 percent more positively than one that lacks a smile. In addition, a smile improves the mood not only of the smiling person, but also of those who look at his smiling face. Moreover, it is very contagious – it is due to the so-called mirror neurons, which make us look the same as a person looks against us. The more smiles in the world, the more hormones of happiness and less anxiety or stress.
