11 Reasons Smiling Can Improve Your Level of Confidence and Success In Relationships
Smiling, at times it can be absolutely necessary! I once read a book, a children’s folktale where someone in the land had to get the princess to smile, but seemingly nobody could accomplish this. Why was smiling so important in the folktale? Simply because, the King worried that without smiling, his daughter couldn’t truly be happy, productive, and active, which leads us to reason #1.
Reason #1 Smiling shows friendliness!
If a stranger whom eye contact, was made approached you, their sharing a broad smile would present them as harmless and friendly. It would allow you the opportunity to let down your guard and be open towards interacting. Now, on the other hand, a stranger whose facial expression was entirely the opposite, frowning and scowling, would make you feel uneasy. Speaking or interacting would a big no, no!
Reason #2 Smiling Can Make Others Happy
If treated to a smile, your first reaction would be returning the smile. It’s a normal reaction. Sort of, the first thing we all learn in socializing! For that very moment, with exchanges of smiles, both parties have enjoyed positive communication without words. This can occur numerous times within places creating opportunities for socializing. Smiling just makes even the unhappiest people feel good if just momentarily. Your smile could brighten someone’s day, all day!
Reason #3 Smiling Is Infectious
Spending lots of time with someone wearing a huge smile, although it may feel a bit unusual, it just might start wearing off on you in an excellent way. It’s hard to not return smiles, especially if the party smiling is someone known, or someone’s who caught your attention. You may receive horrible news, but if not life something threatening, you’d still feel subliminal to return every smile that comes your way!
Reason #4 Smiling Makes You Popular
In your high-school days, did you ever see a popular cheerleader who didn’t flash a smile? Or, see a jock whose smile didn’t make every girl wish he’d take her on a date? Smiling creates popularity. Now, on the other hand, the attractive but rather plain girl or guy back in high school struggled to get a date and make friends. That’s because their facial expressions told a story of boredom, worry, and insecurities. Yes, people can read your life’s story through facial expressions. They don’t have to know you personally. Surely you’d prefer being in the company of others smiling and showing enthusiasm, a passion for life, rather than being in the company of someone with an expression showing that their life sucks!
Reason #5 Smiling Produces Long-Lasting Friendships
Why would someone befriend a miserable person? It’s said that misery loves company! But, that quote’s often used to keep people from attracting misery and unhappiness. Misery, it’s definitely not something to base a long lasting friendship off! Everyone wants that bubbly and happy friend by his or her side. They bring out the positive at exactly the right times! Those types of people can turn many peoples frowns upside down. Think of it this way, negativity creates negativity, while positivity creates positivity. In this case, opposites definitely do not attract.
Reason #6 Give a Smile, Get a Smile! The Exchange Can Be Fun!
Having someone smile at you just makes you feel great inside. It’s the first step in the process of attracting new friends. A smile screams, “ I like you.” It says I want to be your friend, I think you’re pretty, she thinks she looks good, he thinks he’s gods gift to women! I know what you’re thinking, and although the thoughts produced from smiling could go either way in returns from strangers, if you’re not exactly a mind reader, they’d make you feel great every time. You’d be more likely to approach smiling strangers to find out more about them, they’d be more likely to allow the opportunity.
Reason #7 Smiling Keeps You Positive, Overflowing With Happiness
The feelings of unhappiness, negativity and sadness instantly fade as mentioned. This becomes handy when climbing the ladder to success and happier relationships. It also helps in releasing a sense of calm and compassion. Once that energy is out, it returns the same. Smiling is very habit forming! It’s a positive energy, which affects everyone you connect with.
Reason #8 You Look More Attractive Smiling!
In quoting Annie, “You are never fully dressed without that smile!” It makes you more attractive and interesting. Media personalities and famous celebrities jobs require their smiles daily. While others may think they’re faking smiles, their smiles are likely genuine. They’re smiling because their ratings have climbed, their fan base has expanded due to popularity, and their paychecks have hit a major high. Who wouldn’t smile with all that goodness having occurred? In smiling, you’re attracting a whirlwind of opportunity and looking good doing it!
Reason #9 Smiling Keeps You Memorable
Smiling individuals are often more memorable than others. It’s true! You’re 3 times likelier to create memorable impressions than one whose appearance reflects negativity and neutral attitudes.
Reason #10 Smiling, It’s Good for Your Health!
Smiling makes everything easier to accomplish. You’re releasing stress, built up tension, and letting worries fly right out the door. Mental or physical health improves with a smile. Smiling’s one of the smartest things you can do when trying to improve all aspects, even health related of life.
Reason #11 Smiling Effects Can Last Hours
Smiling has an effect, which lasts hours, maybe longer dependent on your situation. It’s safer than alcohol and drugs in almost instantly eliminating problems. In a positive mind state, you’re much more likely to bypass that curveball thrown, meant to hold you back from success.
Smiling, It’s FREE!
You’ll never have the fear of running out! Others will think positively of you. You’ll feel amazing inside. It will open up doors you may have thought closed. Smiling will help you release your true potential
Keep on smiling!
Until next time, Think BIG and Give THANKS
