Alright…
Alright…
First of all
When you wake up in the evening and the day is shot
Find yourself complaining about the things you ain’t got
Never goes just the way you want it to
Clichè of the day, c’est la vie, that’s just life
It ain’t easy, it’s so tough, it’s so easy
Chorus: Put a smile on your face
Make the world a better place
Put a smile on your face
(Whatcha gonna do, say, whatcha gonna do)
Put a smile on your face
Make the world a better place
Put a smile on your face
(Whatcha gonna do, say, whatcha gonna do)
Smile, a great pop song by the artist Vitamin C. The same Vitamin C who sang the wonderful commencement song Friends Forever. It’s also the subject of today’s blog.
So why is important to smile?
Smiling Makes Us Attractive—We are naturally drawn to people who smile. There is a real physical attraction factor linked to the act of smiling.
Not surprisingly, more severe or negative facial expressions like frowns, scowls, and grimaces actually work in the opposite manner, effectively pushing people away. Instead, use the attraction power of your smile to draw people in.
Smiling Relieves Stress—Stress can permeate our entire being, and can really show up in our faces. Smiling not only helps to prevent us from looking tired, worn down, and overwhelmed but can actually help reduce stress.
Believe it or not, smiling can reduce stress even if you don’t feel like smiling or even know that you’re smiling! When you are stressed, take the time to put on a smile. You and those around you will reap the benefits.
Smiling Makes You Look Younger—Not only can smiling make you more attractive it can also make you look more youthful. The muscles we use to smile also lift the face, making a person appear younger.
So instead of opting for a facelift, just try smiling your way through the day—you’ll look younger and feel better.
Smiling Makes You Seem Successful—Studies have shown that people who smile regularly appear more confident, are more likely to be promoted, and are more likely to be approached.
Try putting on a smile at work and during Toastmasters meetings. You might find that people react to you differently.
Smiling Helps You Stay Positive—Try this test: Smile. Now try to think of something negative without losing the smile. It’s hard, isn’t it?
Even when a smile feels unnatural or forced, it still sends the brain and ultimately the rest of our body the message that “Life is Good!” Stay away from depression, stress, and worry by smiling. Here’s some more lyrics from that song that accentuates today’s blog.
You can say that I’m a dreamer and you think it’s uncool
Preaching ’bout the better life I learned in school
But you get what you give in this life that we live
And all that you do come back to you Repeat Chorus
Yo,
When things isn’t right there’s no need to fight
Come on be nice
No need to fight
Stay polite even when you’re hurting don’t forget to smile
Give love to our nation, big or small
When you do good you’ll get your reward
United with stand, divided we fall
Put a smile on your face and greet one and all Repeat Chorus
People love you when you smile
And hate you when it’s through
Lots of happiness
We are wishing you
If you come from Jamaica or Honolulu, yeah
Keep a smile on your face
I’ll see the good that you do
Smile 😊
And everything will be fine..
I had a little help on this blog from the song itself and from verywellmind.com. Credit given to those sources.
When I woke up this morning, I smiled and it made all the difference. We all feel better when we have that positive energy. Even if don’t feel good about our day yet we Smile, our brain is telling us “You must be Happy today”. With my eye for dressing nice (along with another person I know), I definitely stand out.
Time to close off the blog with a preview of tomorrow’s blog. I am going to talk about a few things to help me live a better life. I feel I am doing one by reading more inspirational books. I should also take more time to pray over the next 30 days and devote an entire month to Proverbs. Next month would be great for that but what I am waiting for on some of these devotionals I have? Why not start now?
My advice to you for your Tuesday? Live your best life. Be your best you. ROCK out because you are worth it.
I talked about smiling tonight. Well, always bring your smile to anything that you are a part of. Let it be infectious. Tell those whom you see tomorrow “❤️ you” even if they don’t deserve it. Make your Tuesday lovely.
Bye everyone. ❤️ you.
