Valerie Grimes, Hypnotist Presents Tip 25 for Dissolving Stress.
You know how darling kids are when they smile and wave at you? And then you smile?
Have you noticed that you immediately feel better? Why is this?
In 1989, a psychologist named Robert Zajonc published one of the most significant studies on the emotional effect of producing a smile.
The evidence all points toward smiling as a cause of happy feelings. Subjects were asked questions that pinpointed their emotional state before and after smiling, and they overwhelmingly scored happier after smiling.
In the study involving the mirror, subjects who watched themselves smile saw an even more pronounced change in mood than those who smiled without the mirror, and the subjects who merely looked at pictures didn’t experience that change at all.
So my suggestion is “smile at people you don’t know.”
It brings a smile to their face and then everyone feels better, feels happier.
