Did you know there’s a science to smiling?

Smiling triggers a cascade of chemical reactions in the brain, releasing dopamine, endorphins, and serotonin (the feel-good drugs that are natural pain relievers and mood lifters.) Go ahead, give it a try right now! And smiling is contagious, seeing someone smile activates the mirror neurons in our brains prompting us to mirror the expression Smiling influences perceptions of others and is associated with attributes like attractiveness, reliability, and relaxation, enhancing social connections It’s your superpower when you use it!
