The power of a smile.

We are born with the natural ability to smile; it’s not something we need to learn. In fact the latest 3D ultrasounds have even shown developing babies smile in the womb!!

Smiling has a powerful impact on how we feel. It boosts our mood-enhancing hormones and reduces stress hormones like cortisol, even helping to lower blood pressure. When we smile, our facial muscles signal the brain to release endorphins, which can alleviate pain and stress. So, that simple act of smiling not only reflects our happiness but also helps to create it. 😊
