Smiling is helping me cope

I've been smiling more in hopes that it will change my mood and get me out of this funk and it really works - when I see people I smile, they smile 😊

Sometimes "fake it until you make it" really is something applicable to happiness. Smiling can make us feel happier :)

I was raised in a community where if you didn't wave you were indeed a stranger lol

@stilladapting2be smile at someone who smiled back and then their smile makes another smile. And pretty soon your smile has gone on for miles 😁 humour is my coping mechanism, so I agree smile laugh dance and sing. Cause everything will turn out ok ❤❤❤

I smile a lot. Probably to compensate for my lack of talking. I'm kind of shy.

such a great way to change your state by altering your physical appearance - sharing your joy with yourself as well as others

I try to note how much my overall mood changes when I smile, plus the impact the smiles of others has on me - truly amazing!!

Yes. I smile when I’m embarrassed. I used to match everyone else’s facial expressions but no matter what a smile helps me get through everything. I love this.
