Are you a novice to the habit of smiling. I will suggest a beginning exercise that may help.

Not only will you feel better, but it pays well too.

Stretch

Stretch your cheeks as far as they can go to the left and the right.

Make

Make yourself hold that position.

Inhale

Inhale, but hold your facial position.

Lighten

Lighten up your stance by tensing and relaxing your muscles.

Enjoy

Enjoy the giggle that is now turning from a chuckle to a cackle.

?Practice that 5-10 times a day, holding it for 5 minutes.

See what your brain and outlook can learn from your face.

If you do not believe me, try it anyway to prove me wrong. You will be happy when you fail to do so.?

I like to smile "without smiling". People often accuse me of smiling or laughing when I have a straight face.

Great reminder Tom. I actually struggle to smile - not that I am sad, my mouth just does not naturally go that way. My forced smiles in photos never goes well. Need to try our suggestions.
