If smiling is so good for me, why don’t I do it all the time?

 

Smile first thing in the morning to “win your day.”

 

Smile last thing before sleep to “win your night.” To have pleasant dreams. To reprogram the subconscious with positivity…

 

Why am I not smiling all day long?

 

After all, it produces the fell-good hormones like endorphins, oxytocin, dopamine and serotonin.

 

The answer?

 

It’s bloody hard work.

 

So many distractions.

 

So many opportunities to allow stress to take hold.

 

What can I do about this?

 

Gaia TV streaming channel may have an answer.

 

I am watching their series on Heart Math.

 

Simple deeper breathing while focused on the heart.

 

Tried it. Makes it easier to smile.

 

Ok. Maybe that is a good answer.

 

Your thoughts?

 

Can it be that simple?

 

Remembering to take deeper breaths from time to time…causing some smiling…causing hormones that make me feel good?

 

Let me know your experience with this.
