3.1 SMILE THERAPY

Smile Therapy

     Smile/laughter is one of the most natural and easiest exercises; you can do anytime and anywhere. It is extremely good for health and emotional well being. A smile is a curve that sets everything straight. It costs nothing and wastes no time, but gives much.. Think of it as FREE therapy!!!

Smile therapy helps in Thirteen Ways:

1. Makes you Attractive & Happier:  The muscles you use to smile lift the face, making you appear younger and look better. Smile to make yourself happier too.Smiling naturally lifts the muscles in the face and slows down the rate at which we age. 

 2. Instant Mood Booster:  Smiling can trick the body and change your mood for the better.

3. Releases Stress:  Smile lowers levels of stress hormones and prevents us from looking tired, worn down, and overwhelmed. Laughter is an instant vacation, to relax and relieve stress.

4. Strengthens Immune System:  Laughter improves immune function, as you are more relaxed. It decreases stress hormones and increases immune cells and infection fighting antibodies, thus improving your resistance to disease. This reduces risk of many diseases from the common cold to chronic cancer. It can lessen reactions to allergies too.  

5. Lowers Blood Pressure: When you smile, there is a measurable reduction in your blood pressure.

6. Natural pain killer: Smiling triggers the release of endorphin, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals. Endorphin promotes an overall sense of well-being and can even temporarily relieve pain. Always laugh when you can. Laughter is the best medicine available freely.

7. Laughing improves breathing: Laughing empties lungs of more air than it takes in, resulting in a cleansing effect; similar to deep breathing, which is good for health.

8. Laughing Stimulates your organs: Laughter enhances your intake of oxygen-rich air and relaxes the whole body. It stimulates your heart, lungs and muscles, and increases the endorphin that is released by your brain. It improves the function of blood vessels and increases blood flow, which can help to protect your heart.  Laughter helps to reduce heart disease, to lose weight and to give a good sleep.

9. Smiling is infectious & spreads happiness: Smiling is contagious. You catch it like the flu. When someone smiles at you, you are sure of starting smiling. When someone is smiling they lighten up the room, change the moods of others, and make things happier. A smiling person brings happiness with them. Thus smile makes you happier and also spreads happiness to others. The person you graced with your smile may go on to pass the kindness to someone else. Who knows how far your original smile will travel?Smile a while; while you smile, there will be miles and miles of smile.

10. Helps to Stay Positive:  When we smile, our body is sending the rest of us a message that "Life is Good!" Stay away from depression, stress and worry by smiling.

11. Promotes Success: A cheerful person is always welcome .Smiling people appear more confident and capable. Smiling people get more opportunities as smile leaves favourable impressions.                      
 

12. Smile inspires others: A smile creates goodwill, a feeling of friendship and makes new friends. A smile sends a positive message that can potentially change someone else's mood for the better. A smile brings inspiration to the discouraged, cheer to the sad and warmth to the troubled. A smile costs nothing, but has the power to enrich all who receive it. A smile takes only a moment, but its memory can last forever.

13. Increases personal   satisfaction: Laughter can also make difficult situations a little bit easier. Smile while doing a difficult work. Smile creates greatness in personality.

The simple act of smiling (yes, even forced smiles count!) can do miracles. No matter, what bad things happen to you, but keep a smile on your face….because smiling always starts the healing.       

  There is no reason not to laugh.
