Gift someone your smile

When someone smiles a full smile at you, what exactly do you do? You smile back and most likely have a happier day or a brighter day. I mean that’s if you have no fight with whoever is smiling at you.

No matter who smiles at you genuinely be it your family, friend or even a stranger, its infectious and brings good feelings out of you.

“smiling is embedded in our nature.” One of such research says “interpret facial expressions with great precision. Not only can you deduce useful information from smiles, human behavior can be controlled using that information.”

In fact, once Harvard University researchers studied elderly patients and how they responded to those who took care of them. Providers whose facial expression were seen as welcoming and inviting were said to provide more satisfaction to their elderly patients both physically and even mental health wise and vice versa.

In fact,smiling is said to have personal effects on whoever is giving the smile such as feeling happier, more self-confident, stress level reductions. But when you frown, the opposite results.

Jamie, a 20 year old who was on the verge of committingsuicide but changed his mind said “I was already planning to take my life, but as I stepped into my compound, my neighbor smiled at me and that smile lifted my spirits.” When you smile at someone you could be saving a life just as Jamie’s own life was saved.

Later Jamie would later go back to his neighbor and ask why he had reasons to smile and his neighbor said he was just glad to feel the sun on his skin and to just be alive.
