We all look better when we smile and US psychologist Dr James Laird has found that smiling can actually boost your mood and make you feel happier, even if you’re feeling low. So give it a try today. From the moment you wake up, smile at everyone you see.
Think positive and make yourself smile ?
1.Hanging around with cheerful people is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. In one study, scientists asked volunteers to scowl at happy faces – but the volunteers found it hard to stop their own mouths from curling upwards!
2.Sleep rejuvenates the brain’s cerebral cortex, which drives moods, decision-making and short-term memory. If you stint on shut-eye, your mood will plummet.
3.People who spend their free time on housework have more health problems than those who ditch the drudgery to go out with friends or take a nice walk. Do your laundry and vacuuming during the week, and save weekends for time off with family and friends.
4.People who have studied for a college degree tend to be happier in later life than those who haven’t, found researchers at the University of London’s Institute of Education. Choose an adult education course to give yourself a boost.
5.Before you do a job that is likely to stress you, get into the habit of doing something calming, such as playing your favourite CD. Rituals calm the over-analytical left brain and let the more intuitive right brain take over – making it easier to nip negative self-talk in the bud.
6.Sort out your debtsWho says money can’t buy happiness? People with higher incomes report less stress and better health than lower-wage earners, according to the journal ‘Psychosomatic Medicine’. By getting rid of money-related anxiety, you will sleep more soundly and feel happier as a result
