"Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy."

It’s a rough morning. First, my alarm doesn’t go off. Then I’m late to my breakfast time so I don’t get served .And next a driver decides to roll into me. It doesn’t kill me, but it completely wrecks my mood. Afterward I get to my college to realize I’m 10 minutes late. Just great. It must be a case of the Fridays!

I made my mind up to go straight to my class skipping my Friday’s a-level assembly. I desperately wait my classmate to show up which they do but only after an hour because it lasted longer than any ordinary days. Then one of my friends reminds me we have economics notes due. I hurried to my locker to find out I lost my keys. Likewise I forgot my purse back home.

 As I sit under my little gray cloud with my food, my pretty talkative friend sends me a dazzling smile that stays there for the entire communication. I can’t help but smile back. In fact, I even catch myself smiling while washing my hands in the bathroom. Suddenly my day doesn’t seem so bad. I finish my tea and head to my class equipped with a grin on my face, feeling as though I’ve slipped happy soul inside me. Today’s lesson? It turns out that when I smile, the world smiles back.

The simple act can transform you and the world around you. Smile is contagious.  It lifts our mood as well as the moods of those around us. And it can even lengthen our lives. So before you read on, cuff a nice, genuine smile on that face of yours. You’ll thank me later.

Each time you smile you throw a little feel-good party in your brain. The act of smiling activates neural messaging that benefits your health and happiness. For starters, smiling fights off stress .This not only relaxes your body, but it can lower your heart rate and blood pressure. Smile serves as an anti-depressant/mood

You’re actually better looking when you smile – and I’m not just trying to butter you up. When you smile, people treat you differently. You’re viewed as attractive, reliable, relaxed and sincere. This suggests that when you view a person smiling, you actually feel rewarded.

My morning started a complete mess. Anyone in my shoes would have been frowning. We can’t always control what happens to us, but I am 100% positive that gracing your face with a grin can seriously change your internal and external experience. Your smile is something that should be worn often, so make it a priority to surround yourself with people, places and things that brighten your day. Smiling in rough days doesn’t only confuse the people around you but also your subconscious mind. It allows you to feel good again .Vow to be the positive, happy person in your group of friends. Watch funny movies often/9gag and be sure to look people in the eye and show them your pearly whites. The world is simply a better place when you smile.
