How often do you smile? I know it sounds cheesy, but bear with me!
Even when I am alone, I find my stress and emotions have a habit of cementing themselves onto my face. When I read something upsetting, I glare at my screen. When I hear a horn honk loudly, I can’t seem to help myself from frowning.
No one likes to be frowning or scowling, so why do I keep up these reactions? They cause wrinkles, make onlookers think I’m unfriendly and sometimes, I think it even gives me a headache!
I do them because they are unconscious, simply reactions. Yes, they are movements entirely inside of my control. I can frown or smile right now, on cue. But most of the time, I’m not tuned in. I don’t know what my face is doing.
Imagine if instead of a frown when you are upset, you make an effort to smile. Too much to ask, especially in the face of stress? You might be supprised at how a change in facial expression can actually change your thoughts.
And, if you are around someone else, a smile certainly can’t hurt the situation! ( Well, unless they think you are sarcastic!)
So maybe you tune in, and control your face a bit more, and see if it controls your thoughts? I happened to think a forced smile is better than a unconscious frown. At least the wrinkle lines will get a little lessened!
Here is a nice post about how to "use" your smile in situations. Check it out for some inspiration!
I read something recently that sounded like a fabulous idea - first thing in the morning when you look in the mirror, smile and say hi. Sounds corny, but we tend to look for the zits/wrinkles/freckles/imperfections and criticize and scowl at ourselves.
ReplyDeleteBetter yet would be to say, "Good morning, beautiful!" but if that's too much of a stretch, at least we can say a friendly hi.
