If you feel that you have an unattractive smile, you probably don’t smile very often. Perhaps you make a deliberate effort to avoid smiling in social and professional settings.
Do you think frequent smiling has a significant effect on your life? You bet it does.
In addition to simply making us happier, smiling benefits our quality of life in a host of ways.
1. Look Younger and More Attractive
It doesn’t take a scientific study to validate this fact. No matter your age, you always look better with a smile on your face.
2. Smiling Decreases Stress
When you smile, your brain releases feel-good chemicals that shrink your stress level.
3. Smiling Increases Your Confidence
Who doesn’t want to experience more self-assurance?
4. Smile For Success
Researchers have demonstrated several ways smiling can improve the chance of a good outcome in personal and professional pursuits. These benefits stem from the fact that smiling impacts your behavior as well as the behavior of the men and women with whom you interact.
5. Help People Trust You
Authentic smiles that involve the mouth, cheeks, and eyes, represent honesty and trustworthiness.
