Smiling is good for your Health
Pretty sure some of you knew that before - I am trying to focus on that again now - I spoke about this already before and during HF17/18. Smiling is Awesome! Plain and simple! But why is it good? It is just a brain fart of people promoting positivity? No - here is why! Especially important after HF19!
1 - Smile of others could make you a happy Steemian
Upvoting other Steemians' posts and comments brings a smile to their face and they will support you on a long-termed basis
2 - Smile about your own Power makes you happy too
Upvoting your own post should be ok but do not up vote your own comments with 100% especially when you are a whale 🐋 - makes you happy as you give something back but also gain from Vote and Admiration by the community
3 - Smiling reduces stress
People smiling the biggest will experience a reduction in heart rate and quicker stress recovery.
4 - Smiling increases productivity.
Smiling and general happiness have significant impact on productivity while negative emotions do the opposite.
5 - Smiling improves your mood
Facial expressions have the ability to influence our mood, the muscles in the face transform the feelings and emotions made in our brain. So if you smile your mood becomes better
6 - Smiling affects your brain
Each time you smile your brain celebrates a feeling good party as it activates neural messaging that makes you happy
7 - Smiling makes you more approachable
Smiling people come across as more likable and friendly towards family, clients, friends, colleagues - authentic smiles even make you appear more competent.
8 - Smiling helps to be a better leader
Smiling is a key to your success if you are in a powerful role as smiling is a more effective leadership technique than anything else from the management skills you desire to have.
9 - Smiling makes you more trustworthy.
People who smile come across more trustworthy than people with neutral or angry expression.
