Forget the therapists, a smile can cure many ills.

We have long been led to believe that a smile uses less muscles than a frown and so therefore we should smile. However, recent research reveals that smiling in fact engages more muscles and therefore uses more energy. So should we stop smiling to save energy?

Meanwhile, a 2002 study in Sweden found that it is easier to copy somebody else’s facial expressions than to do the opposite – so by encouraging other people to smile by smiling yourself, you are saving them energy!

Even more exciting is the discovery that a returned smile can give us a wonderful injection of endorphins because our system rewards us for community building behaviour.

So, it might take a bit more energy at the beginning but the good feelings and the positive energy generated are more than worth the effort!! 

You’ll soon find that if you smile, even if you don’t feel like it, you will quickly feel better about life and the challenges in front of you. It can help create a happier environment at work or at home.
