THE ART OF SMILE
“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word,
a listening ear, and honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring,
all of which have the potential to turn a life around.”
– Leo F. Buscaglia
As simple as it is, yet so powerful. A smile is an expression of happiness and joy in you. Like an upward spiral, a smile will boost the happiness you feel. You’ll feel more positive about yourself and the world.
A smile can affect your internal state, which can have physiological impact on your physical and mental health. It has the power to make other people feel good about themselves. It’s heart-warming and has the power to cheer up others instantly.
Living under a routine, we can easily be in a zombie-like state when coming into work. We zip into work quickly following the same routines we’ve habituated. Our target is to get to work, and we can sometimes forget about the people around us, in other offices/departments. So, the challenge is to practice beaming with smile as you come into work. Smile genuinely with people you meet. Be completely pleased to see them. Make it a focus for the day, to bring more happiness into the lives of others. Ask them genuinely and infused with energy, “How are ya?” “How was your weekend?” Watch the smiles surface on their face.
Do you know that when you smile people will be attracted to you they will feel drawn to your energy. When you smile more, you will carry an aura and poise that will draw people to you. People will look forward to being around you, knowing only that they feel great around you. People on the street, at work, your friends etc. We all like and want to be around happy and cheerful people, right?
Side Note: I am now smiling as I write this article. I love it! And my advice to you is to do the same as you know people say “Smile you don’t know who will fall in love with your smile”
