Smiling - Fake it till you make it
Recent research from Adelaide University has shown that smiling improves your mood, reduces anxiety and even helps with depression.
In the study participants were shown images and asked to rate the images as happy/positive or sad/negative.
Those participants who were smiling perceived the images as more positive.
They then took some participants and forced them to smile by holding a pencil between their teeth.
The act of a forced smile improved the participants perceptions on the images that they were shown.
Simply forcing your facial muscles to smile is enough to trick your brain into thinking that you are happy.
Other people around you will perceive you as happier and you will also see others around you in a more positive light.
A fake smile will lead to real happiness.
Try it and see - it really does work!
If your smile is not perfect then this can cause stress and anxiety as you try to hide your smile or avoid photos.
Unfortunately some people are severely self conscious of their smile due to missing teeth or crooked teeth or stained teeth.
For some people the problems can seem so great they the avoid smiling all together.
