 SMILING-IT'S YOUR CHOICE

In our last issue we discussed the anatomy of a smile, some new thinking about smiling, and that smiling is a choice. 

 

 

 

THE SMILING SURVEY-SUCCESS  

According to the AACD, 75% of Americans believe an attractive smile increases a person's chance for success. 99% of Americans believe a smile is an important social asset.  

 

 

 

GUARANTEED TO MAKE YOU SMILE  

Babies and animals can bring immediate smiles. The combination is even more fun.  

 

Please watch this video.  

 

 

EXERCISE  

This week I invite you to do the following:

  1. Watch the video again, especially when reflecting on a situation or preparing for something that could cause you a lot of tension, stress, etc.
  2. Observe your body's reactions before and after you've dealt with the situation.

  3. What could you do or say differently that could include a smile?
