You’re never fully dressed without a smile, at least according to the plucky little redheaded girl who starred in the classic movie Annie, and she’s definitely not wrong. A smile is the perfect way to convey joy, happiness, agreement, laughter, or any other number of positive emotions.
A smile is defined as “forming ones mouth features into a pleased, kind, or amused expression, typically with the corners of the mouth turned up and the front teeth exposed. Can you remember the last time that you smiled? Not just tweaked the edges of your mouth up a little bit, but really smiled: a face-stretching grin that adds a brilliant sparkle to your eyes? What brought that smile to your face?
Chances are, thinking about that memory just brought that same smile to your face as you’re reading this.
Smiling actually has a great number of health benefits too, including:
- Reducing stress.
- Improving mood
- Lowering heart rate and fostering relaxation.
- Lessening pain, both physical and mental.
- Extending life. (Studies have shown that people who smile often live up to 7 years longer than people who don’t.)
Smiling encourages the body to relax and to release endorphins. These endorphins are the body’s way of naturally fighting pain and stress and the easiest way to get the body to produce more of them is to smile a little bit more throughout the day.
If you’re looking for a few more reasons to smile throughout the day, then you’re in luck. We’ve scoured the web for the best smile quotes to encourage you to add a bit more joy to your daily life.
