Have you ever noticed that we feel happier around children, it is because they are almost always smiling or laughing. We see smiles and it makes us smile.

That is the easiest way to spread joy and happiness, just smile! What could be easier?

Smiling tells other people what we are feeling. You are happy to be alive!

You do not have to be happy to smile,but we have all put on a "brave face" when we didn't feel like smiling but did it anyway. It is much better to hope to push through a bad mood by smiling than to do nothing. Often enough, we force a smile and remain happy, because we found something to be happy about.

When you experience a situation that makes you happy, your brain sends a signal from the cortex to the brainstem, and this signal is transmitted to the smiling muscles in your face. The smile on our face sends another signal back to the brain indicating feelings of joy and happiness.

These are good reasons to smile more often.
