Smiling changes your attitude, raises your confidence, and makes you more attractive. As we rush through our
busy days accomplishing our tasks -- work, kids, shopping, cleaning, and eating on the go, we often complain that we don''t feel good. There is a simple, quick, and effective way that you can feel better throughout the day and also be more attractive. All you have to do is smile more. Smiling changes your attitude, whether you realize it or not. If you have any doubts, next time you feel down, start smiling and thinking positive thoughts and see what happens. You can''t help but have a better attitude when you smile. Smiling also raises your confidence. Smiling affects our emotions because of a brain-body connection. It triggers scientifically measurable activity in the left frontal cortex -- the area of the brain where happiness is registered. In fact, there is science dedicated to the study of facial expressions and responses called FACS - Facial Action Coding System. Your face has 44 muscles between the skin, cartilage, blood, and bone that you contort, flex, and move. This lets you make over 5000 different types of expressions. That''s a lot of expressions! And each will have a different affect on your feelings and those looking at you. Admit it, when someone is smiling aren''t you drawn in? Don''t you enjoy that person''s company more? We all do. Smiling is a very important part of connecting and getting to know someone. So when you smile not only will you make yourself feel better, you will also attract positive energy into your life. So smile!!
