Power of a Smile

FORUM HUNT: SEE

The power of a smile for me is that no matter how I am feeling if I see someone smile at me it has a impact. For me a smile from a baby has the biggest impact, with them smiling at me I cannot be sad even if for a brief few seconds <3.

How about you? What power does a smile have for you?

@fluffyUnicorns84 Aww same here! Hmm, I also do this thing that whenever I wake up in the morning and open my eyes the next thing that I'd do is to smile and hope that this day will be a good day! And before I sleep I also smile and be thankful that whatever had happened, good or bad, just gotta remind myself that tomorrow is another day blush

I really like this post! I feel like even a simple smile can make a big change and make someone else feel happy. It's a way of acknowledging people in an inviting and friendly manner, and a warm smile can make you feel better too! :)

I struggle to smile--I have been stressed to the max. for so many years that I furrow my brow or raise it like I'm surprised by default. I have to go out of my way to smile, & I can't hold the expression for more than a couple seconds. Regardless, I really liked these two articles:

https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/prefrontal-nudity/201208/calm-your-face-calm-your-mind

Lots of people know the first one--a smile has the power to change your mooth, whether or not you are happy when you make that smile. And your brow is equally important--you're more likely to have negative emotions when you furrow the brow by default. This is why I love to do stuff like progressive muscle relaxation & autogenic training. I know for me personally, it's quite a struggle to control the emotions. (It's also tough to relax my face.) But for the most part, I have more control over the majority of my body than I do my emotions & face, & when the body relaxes, the mind follows it.

@fluffyUnicorns84 A smile is like one those infectious expression such as a laugh or yawn. When someone smiles, it makes you want to smile too. Also, sometimes the best soul connection with someone is through words at word, just a simple smile and we understand a heartfelt moment.

A smile to me is beautiful it shows that you/somebody is happy. It also shows that you are friendly that is what the power of a smile means to me, I love to see somebody that I love smile mostly if I made them smile.
