Smile for No Reason

Whenever I get up in the morning somewhat less than happy, I do something that will sound ridiculous.  I smile.  Not once, not twice, but over and over again, sometimes holding the smile for long periods of time.  I find that no matter what my starting mood, it soon gets better.  Don't believe me?  Check out the research on the benefits of smiling often, particularly the health benefits through the release of feel good hormones, lower blood pressure and immune system boost.  Better yet, simply try it out for yourself.  It might feel silly at first, but what do you have to lose?  Simply smile for no reason and choose to make your day far better than it would have been had you done nothing at all.  And the best reason of all to smile is, its contagious.  So please pass it on.
