The Power of Your Smile

There is a cure for anxiety, depression, fear, hopelessness, sorrow, and any sort of angst imaginable. It is natural.  It is free.  There are no side effects.  It is always available.  It is contagious.  It crosses all language barriers.  Everybody has it.

The simple cure? Your smile.

Start with a small smile.  Just halfway.

The muscles in your throat open sending a relaxation signal to the nerves in your spine which travels with the speed of light to your brain.  Your brain releases chemicals that signal, “Life is good.”

The muscles in your face lift, your eyes lift.  Your face appears open and friendly.  You feel more engaged and alive.  You attract other smiles.

Changing your brain chemistry can change your life.  Smiling is the antidote for pain.  It is impossible to be upset if you have a smile on your face.

A smile is the light in the window of your face that tells people you're at home. 

Smiling is a spiritual practice.
