If you feel that you have an unattractive smile, you probably don’t smile very often. Perhaps you make a conscious effort to avoid flashing a smile in social and professional settings.
Do you think frequent smiling has a meaningful effect on your life? You bet it does.
In addition to simply making us happier, smiling supports our quality of life in a plethora 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 Decreases Stress
When you smile, your brain releases feel-good chemicals that reduce your stress level.
3. Smiling Boosts Your Confidence
Who doesn’t want to experience more self-assurance?
4. Smile For Success
Researchers have shown several ways smiling can upgrade the chance of a favorable outcome in personal and professional pursuits. These benefits stem from the fact that smiling affects your behavior as well as the behavior of the people with whom you interact.
5. Help People Trust You
Authentic smiles that involve the mouth, cheeks, and eyes, convey honesty and trustworthiness.
