Every once in a while, turn off the TV or the computer. Stop reading how other people are living their lives and start living yours! The world is so much bigger than a 21-inch screen.

Smile and Laugh More

"A smile is a curve that sets everything straight." – Phyllis Diller

It’s a reaction. It should be a reflex, but more and more people are finding less and less reasons to smile. Would you smile if you knew you only had one day left to finish a report? Would you smile, thinking constantly of the mortgage or the student loans you have yet to pay off?

Well, those problems won’t go away if you frown. They won’t go away either when you smile, but when you do stretch those facial muscles in a curve, you become happier. That’s right: A smile isn’t just an outward manifestation of happiness. Smiling can cause joy. When you stretch the zygomatic major (the facial muscle needed to smile), your brain gets told, “You’re happy about something.”

And laughter? Institutes around the world have employed techniques on laughter yoga—strategies to induce laughter. Your body won’t be able to tell the difference between real and fake laughter, which means that the benefits you get when you genuinely laugh will be the same as laughter induced by laughter yoga techniques. Also, like your smile, fake laughter can cause you to laugh genuinely. You’ll eventually find something to laugh about—the fact that you’re forcing yourself to laugh is funny enough.

Research conducted in Bangalore, India, revealed that laughter lowers your blood pressure and stress levels. When you live in a world where you experience stress on a daily level, smiling and laughing can help you keep yourself sane.

Everyone has problems. You have problems that may be emotional, physical, or financial. Deal with these problems with a frown and you’ll just get more stressed. Deal with them with a smile and occasional laughter and you’ll feel better. Not only will it lighten your mood, it’ll also make you more than ready to deal with problems.

Smile and laugh some more. It might not lessen the problems, but it will lighten the stress. Sometimes, when you can’t beat the problem, the only thing you can do is to give yourself more strength to deal with it. Sometimes, it’s how you react to the problem that makes a difference. Someone who smiles despite the problems is bound to be more productive than someone who hardly ever smiles.
