If you feel that you have an unattractive smile, you probably don’t smile very often. Perhaps you make a deliberate effort to avoid flashing a smile in social and professional settings.
Do you think frequent smiling has a compelling effect on your life? You bet it does.
In addition to simply making us happier, smiling benefits our quality of life in a multitude of ways.
1. Look Younger and More Attractive
It doesn’t take a scientific study to validate this fact. No matter your age, you always look better with a smile on your face.
When you smile, your brain releases feel-good chemicals that lower your stress level.
3. Smiling Bolsters Your Confidence
Who doesn’t want to benefit from more self-assurance?
4. Smile For Success
Researchers have established several ways smiling can improve the chance of a positive 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.
