Smiling doesn't just feel good - It's also good for you!
Smiling not only connects us to others and gives us a way to express our joy, it also has tons of mental and physical health benefits.
Smiling is soothing
Believe it or not, smiling is proven to reduce the stress hormone cortisol. So when you’re struggling with a tough day, putting on a grin can help soothe the mind and boost your mood.
Smiling is contagious
The part of your brain that's responsible for controlling your smile is prone to mimicking the smiles of those around you.
Smiling is joyful
The act of smiling stimulates neural messages in your brain that trick your body into thinking that you're on top of the world.
Smiling is relaxing
By triggering a release of endorphins and serotonin in the body, smiling helps improve your mood and tells your body to relax.
Smiling is beautiful
As a vital communication tool, smiling creates connections with those around you.
Smiling is mindfulness
A state of balance that calms the mind and body is supported by frequent smiling.
A big thank you
There are certain people who've dedicated themselves to keeping us safe during unprecedented times, allowing us to keep smiling. Thank you to the doctors, nurses, paramedics, firefighters, sanitation engineers, grocery staff, delivery drivers and all the other key workers who have given their time to maintain our safety.
