The Art Of Smiling
A smile a day keeps the doctor away. Actually, researcher’s have discovered a connection between those who have a good, positive, attitude, and good health. The bigger the smile, the more frequent the smile the more apt you are to have a good health report from your doctor. Sounds good to me but how do I keep a smile in the rush and hurry of today.
Smiling is a choice, an art if you like. Even when life has her claws deeply imbedded into your flesh through, sickness, divorce or whatever you can still smile if you choose. All you have to do is pull the lips back and grins… show the teeth. You might not mean it now but if you keep your face in this position, your attitude is sure to follow. In addition, if you look as silly as I do when I practice the art of smiling, especially when I don’t feel like smiling, someone is going to laugh at you.
If you say you have nothing to smile about you are wrong. Look around you and see the beauty all around you. If you can see, you have something to smile about. Think about those who can’t see and then you might be able to smile.
Look in the refrigerator and get out some thing cold to drink. Smile, you have a machine that keeps things cold. Most of the world doesn’t have anything cold to drink but you reached in the frig and pulled out a cold drink, smile.
Do you have friends? Give them a call. Use the cell phone or regular phone and call a friend. Can you hear them when they speak, smile you can hear. Many people have lost the ability to hear but you can hear so smile.
The art of smiling is simple and easy to master if you have the desire to change your life. You can have a positive affect on others today just by practicing your smile. Give everyone you meet today a big ole smile and see what happens. I dare you!
