Pick your smile style
From smirks to grins, to sad smiles and genuine ones, there are 19 different types of documented smile styles. Before you decide to browse through your smile inventory, studies also show that women can identify
fake smiles better than men. A sure shot way to tell the difference is by observing a smile. A genuine smile uses all the features of your face, including your eyes.
Smile your way to the topBelieve it or not it’s true! A study by Penn State University found that smiling not only makes you appear likeable, but courteous and competent too. Proving to your boss that you’re a capable person with a positive attitude through a simple smile is likely to get you at promotion you’ve been eyeing (along with meeting all your deadlines of course)
1 smile= 2,000 chocolate bars.Your diet plan just got easy. A test carried out by Hewlett Packard shows that a child’s smile as stimulates a response that’s equal to eating 2,000 chocolate bars! So the next time you’re craving for some chocolate that threatens to ruin your diet, just smile at a kid instead.
A happy highIf you think smiling just conveys happiness, then think. Seeing a smile gives you a short term high that’s better than sex, chocolate and shopping, in that order. Its official, we’re going to be grinning our way through the day.
Smiling is contagious, literally!Probably the only good contagious thing out there. Credited to the sensorimotor stimulation in our brain, our immediate response is to mimic a person’s smile the moment we see it. It’s your brain’s natural response to a smile back. The only way to avoid it is by consciously forcing yourself to stop smiling back. But where the fun in that? So flash those pearly white and keep smiling!
