A Simple Way to Raise Your Holiday Spirits
During this stressful time of the year when everyone is searching for the perfect gift for a loved one, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed. What many people do not know, though, is that there is an easy gift that may help raise yours and other's spirits around you. Smiling.
Studies have shown the simple act of smiling can reduce stress and improve one's mood. When you smile, certain muscles in your face are stimulated. Those muscles then stimulate the parts in the brain that are responsible for creating warm, pleasant feelings.
Psychological studies have also shown that smiling is hard to resist in others. When a person sees you smile, it can have a small effect on their mood and may influence them to smile, passing on those pleasant feelings. Smiling is a simple and easy way to not only improve your day but the day of someone else. Why not add a little more warm feelings to your holiday season and practice smiling? Its an easy gift to give all year.
