My beautiful grand daughter just started smiling. It is so beautiful. It is so natural. (this is old – I found this looking through my unpublished posts. But I think it is important)
I came across a study by Ding Li about smiling.
‘When our smiling muscles contract, they fire a signal back to the brain, stimulating our reward system, and further increasing our level of happy hormones, or endorphins. In short, when our brain feels happy, we smile; when we smile, our brain feels happier. Fake it till you make it!’
There is power in a smile. you smile at someone, they smile back. Boom – a connection!
