SMILE, IT’S FREE THERAPY!
Have you ever thought about how many times do we smile
in a day? Children smile an average of 400 times per day, teens smile about 200
times and cheerful adults 40 to 50 times, however most of them only smile 20
times on average. These statistics are impressive, aren’t they? I don’t want to
grow up and become a sad and depressive adult, I mean, I still want to have a
smile on my face during the whole day leaving aside my age.
It’s a well-known fact that smiling is important for
us, it’s the perfect way to show happiness, love, kindness… Today I would like
to share with you some of the benefits that smiling has, I’m sure that you will
realize the importance of having a big and nice smile on your face. First of
all, studies have proved that people are more attractive when they smile. Now I
would like you to consider this: when you look at someone (it doesn’t matter if
he or she appeals to you or not) who is poker-faced, he doesn’t transmit you
good vibes. However, when you look at someone who has a great smile and is
showing his white teeth, you quickly think that he seems nice and he might be a
kind guy. So, smiling really makes you more attractive and it’s also a good way
to improve your self-esteem.
On top of that, smiling makes other people happy. How
many times have you seen someone smiling and you have smiled too? Speaking
personally, when people who are in my surroundings smile, I feel better, I feel
more cheerful and motivated due to the good feelings they transmit to me. I
completely believe that smiling boosts our immune system, it also burns
calories and it puts us in a better mood.
Taking all this information into account, you all have
to promise me that the first thing you will think about in the morning when you
just wake up is smiling and to try to make others smile! If we consider this as
a goal, I’m sure that in a few years those statistics will change and adults
will smile even more than children. What are you waiting for? Smile and leave
away all the bad vibes, it’s free therapy!
