Hello Everyone, This Is Michael The Traveling Trucker. Today’s SMILING adventure begins with stretching your LIPS wide from side to side. Yes, It’s called SMILING. True fact: Some claim it takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but open Aunt Milda’s chain letter and you might be surprised to learn it takes 26 to smile and 62 to frown. And some naysayers claim it’s quite the opposite, that in fact it takes more muscles to smile than to frown.
I LOVE SMILING. I always get a smile back, when I smile at YOU. I get a wave when I wave at YOU. I do the thumbs up, peace sign, Spock- Live Long And Prosper sign, any reaction to put that smile on YOUR face. Try it out for yourself. Do any of these activities and see the results for yourself. It’s so much fun. With all the negative going on these days WE ALL NEED THIS–S M I L E.
Want a great read-Get Stuck On Happy, is by far a genuine, straight from the heart book about changing your mindset, from the negative to the positive. Recognizing your thinking negatively and begin turning back to the positive. Because we humans are wired to instinctively respond like for like, facial expressions are contagious. When taken, the homily’s implied advice to put on a happy face does work to benefit society in that smiling people cause those around them to smile. See I told YOU.
Look Janet, I see how fun this can be .LOL
Events like face painting bring smiles, complimenting someone on how they look, giving up your seat to someone, helping someone with their yard work because you can. What brings a SMILE to your face? Being a trucker, blowing my airhorn, brings smiles to people young and old alike when they hold their arm out the window, and make the up and down motion for blowing my horn.
My biggest smile maker is my cooking. I cooked professionally for 10 years. My recipe folder is thousands. My best recipe is homemade, I mean 2 days to get ready, MARINARA SAUCE. Everything is fresh, from tomatoes, fresh herbs. I like mine thick, so it stays on my spaghetti. My good friend Tammy House from Pampered Chef can help out with online parties, products, and services. Check out her site.
Smiling makes us feel happier. It is not a cure-all for every situation (that is, don’t look to it to remedy overwhelming grief), but in terms of getting us past a small dose of the blues, it can help to lift the sense of sadness being experienced.
Repeat aloud: Today is a wonderful day. I have never seen this one before.
Today I will walk like I’m listening to my favorite song.
Today I give MYSELF the best gift ever, THE PRESENT MOMENT.
I want to give you a free SMILE. When you click on the links, you will smile when you see how easy it is to build a business.
Thank you Sheila, You are most welcome. Today is YOUR best day ever, SO SMILE AWAY.
Smile, you always make a difference when you do … love this post, Michael, thank you!
