Better NOT pout because....... a simple statement with such profound truth. Did you know “When you smile, your brain releases neuropeptides. There are over 100 neuropeptides. They’re different from neurotransmitters, and their functions are diverse and complex. To oversimplify, neuropeptides are nerve proteins that regulate almost all of the processes of your cells and the way cells communicate with each other. Neuropeptides influence your brain, body, and behavior in many major ways, from analgesia, reward seeking, food intake, metabolism, reproduction, social behaviors, learning and memory to helping negate stress, aiding sleep, and elevating mood.” (taken from The Best Brain Possible) EVEN IF YOU FAKE SMILE the same thing happens. Fake smile until it produces a habit. Rediscover joy in the little things. Read a children’s book, watch a comedy, do anything to laugh which produces a smile. In the words of the famous childrens song from Frozen....... LET IT GO! #smile #joy #findjoy #bejoy #discoverjoy #breathe #love #peace #release #epiphany #blazeatrail #leaveamark #letitgo #itsnotthatserious #yes #letsdothis #keepsmiling #onwardandupward
