SMILE 09/17/2023

For those that don't know me, I am a Comedian By Night and a Superhero By Day. My mission/vision statement is Saving the World, One Smile At A Time!!

In every performance and in every presentation, I bring smiles. In every email, phone call, and other communications, I try to smile and create opportunities for others to smile. Every day with my family wife and kids, smiling is mandatory, unless I jokingly threaten them with, "Don't Smile", which always leads to a smile. When I drop my kids off at school, the last thing I say to them is, "have a great day, and make someone smile today".??

Why? I don't know. I believe it helps and it just makes me smile. But that selfish. So, I did what I always do when I don't know the answer; I GOOGLED IT!?

I found this article?10 Big Benefits of Smiling: Choose to smile every day to boost mood and health?which lead me to this abstract?Happy People Live Longer: Subjective Well-Being Contributes to Health and Longevity. The article was easy to read and follow, the abstract… it still has my head hurting. But...?

Smiling has both physical, mental, and social benefits. It's so simple to execute, yet for many it can be very difficult to do.?

Try this, at some point today, intentionally smile as often and as unapologetically as you can. Reflect and share with a comment/post below. Let us know how intentionally smiling impacted you? How did affect others around you while you were smiling???

Try it. What’s the worst that could happen, you would...

Smile,
