It happens to be a habit of mine, to smile. I don't even think about it. It does seem to make things better. When I am not feeling well and someone smiles, it is hard to keep yourself down. Thank you for an informative cheerful post. Good news like this just makes me smile, even when there is no one around to receive it!</p> I didn’t realize there was so much research to back up the value of a smile!

You can't put up a real smile and get depressed. It's just not working. The actually used a "smiling therapy", where people just used fake smiling at the beginning, on chronically depressed people and had very good results.</p> @Belinda Munoz: your physiology is hardwired with your emotions.

Let those fill all your being. And then inject a good belly laugh too. Good to see you've developed that ability.</p> @Charley Forness: You will have many of those treasured moments, where you can feel the power of a smile giving to your children and receiving from them.

Here's one dorky thing I do and it may seem odd and silly but worth a try. If I notice myself getting too serious or sad about something, I smile (at no one in particular and no reason at all). The physiological act itself pulls me back into the present and gives me a lift.</p><p>Thanks for this in-depth post!</p> Just reading this put a smile on my face.

A martial-arts instructor told me that if you can smile while you do push-ups you will get more out of them.</p> Another great way to get more out of your smiles is to smile while you work out.

After college I started my personal development quest and came across an article about Norman Cousins (I believe) in which he described the enormous healing power of laughter.

I literally spent hours looking into the bathroom mirror trying to teach myself how to laugh.

These days, laughter comes quite easily to me and I would agree that one should but some fun and laughter every day into their life, just as if it were as important as taking a vitamin.

I watch my babies make faces each day as I interact with them and I will just bust a gut laughing. It feels so good. Thanks for the reminder, Patrick.
