If smiling first thing in the morning helps to set up the day…

 

If smiling helps to “win the day,” what would smiling all day long do?

 

Here’s an experiment.

 

Take a pen or your finger, put it between your teeth…

 

Notice how that causes the lips to smile.

 

See how that feels.

 

Does it not feel better?

 

I am going to share a hidden secret with you…

 

A secret right out in the open…

 

Smiling causes an immediate flood of “feel good” hormones in the body.

 

Much like laughing loud and long…

 

Only silently. Smiling is like silent laughter.

 

Those feel-good hormones…the endorphins, oxytocin, dopamine and serotonin…they perk you up.

 

They release stress, some of it anyway.

 

They empower you.

 

They open you up to more of your intuition…

 

They allow more creativity…

 

They allow you to enter the “flow state.”

 

They’re just good things. They are your friends.

 

Invite them in.

 

Smiling is like you put out the welcome mat for the universal energy to enter your life.

 

What’s not to like?

 

Another hiding in plain sight secret?

 

You can smile anytime. No matter what is happening.

 

Any adverse event in life, you can choose to smile. Even if only internally.

 

We have this choice. To stay empowered no matter what outside events try to steal our joy.

 

If all else fails, keep a pen handy…

 

When something or someone wants to steal your smile, bring out the pen…

 

You can smile all day. You can stay empowered all day.

 

I am told it’s good for your overall health too…

 

Let me know how if goes.

 

In Joy and Love
