WHEN IN DOUBT SMILE
So where do I start…I’m experimenting. A friend of mine suggested that I listen to the soundtrack of “What a Girl Wants”…haven’t seen the movie so I’m curious to see what comes up with this writing… the words let’s fall in love are repeated. I remember the Beattles song “Love Makes the World Go Round”….it sure puts a smile on your face.
There’s an article that my wife,Annie, gave me on the benefits of smiling. This is what I know for sure. It’s a good thing and we need to spend more time doing it. It’s interesting how I said spend like it’s money or a commodity. You won’t run out. And the more you do it, the more you will get back in return. Have you ever looked into a mirror and smiled. It’s fun…if you haven’t done this yet do it and if you have what happens when you look into that mirror?
What do you feel like doing? Now the music is kicking in and I feel like moving.. like dancing with a smile on my face. Now a big smile….According to scientists when you smile the muscles stimulate nerve endings in the brain connected to the feeling good center. There’s a release of endorphins and nitrous oxide. My message to you is to be a smiler. When in doubt, smile. Try the mirror experiment. What if you start with just one minute looking in the mirror and smiling. Who is that person behind that smile.
That was fun.. I’m smiling…and becoming a bigger smiler.
