Today, October 1, is International Smile Day, a wonderful gesture that well deserves a post.
Smile, it's the best gift you can give yourself.
The smile is a natural treatment with incredible properties. This simple gesture releases 4 of the most wonderful substances that exist in the body with almost magical effects: endorphins, dopamines, serotonin and adrenaline. These substances are responsible for happiness, tranquility, reducing physical pain, and improving mood.
It is clinically proven that people have at least six good reasons to smile:
It extends life, improves health, improves personal relationships, beautifies, develops intelligence and provides greater emotional balance.
The magical power of a smile.
Smiling is contagious, I'm sure you've all tried it many times.
If you walk into a space and smile, someone is sure to smile back. If someone passes you on the street and smiles at you, they will provoke one in you.
Neuroscience says that those responsible for the contagion effect of smiling are the mirror neurons that we have in our brain, so it has been proven that if you share your smile with others, you contribute to creating a chain of smiles that will brighten the day of everyone who receives it. Hence a wonderful Tibetan proverb that says:
“Half of your smile is for you, the other half is for the rest of the world.”
Let's teach children that they have the SUPERPOWER of smiling.
As we get older, responsibilities and problems diminish our ability to smile. We teach children that responsibility, maturity and seriousness go along the same lines, and without realizing it we are contributing to taking away their smile.
Unfortunately, there are not many who intend to teach their children something as good, beautiful and cheap as SMILE.
Today I want to claim the smile as a SUPERPOWER, since it has the ability to change a negative thought into a positive one, to cause a favorable change in others, to improve health, to brighten the day, to comfort, to give confidence, to lengthen life... Let's work on the smile, let's teach our children by example, smile at life, put a smile on problems, smile at others... let's give them a tool that will help them throughout their lives.
HAPPY SMILE DAY.
