If you feel that you have an unattractive smile, you probably don’t smile very often. Perhaps you make a deliberate effort to make sure you don’t smile in social and professional settings.
Do you think frequent smiling has a significant effect on your life? You bet it does.
In addition to simply making us happier, smiling improves our quality of life in a host of ways.
1. Look Younger and More Attractive
It doesn’t take a scientific study to substantiate this fact. No matter your age, you always look better with a smile on your face.
2. Smiling Reduces Stress
When you smile, your brain releases feel-good chemicals that lessen your stress level.
3. Smiling Bolsters Your Confidence
Who doesn’t want to reap the benefits of more self-assurance?
4. Smile For Success
Researchers have demonstrated several ways smiling can improve the chance of a good outcome in personal and professional pursuits. These benefits stem from the fact that smiling impacts your behavior as well as the behavior of the men and women with whom you interact.
5. Help People Trust You
Authentic smiles that involve the mouth, cheeks, and eyes, convey honesty and trustworthiness.
