Expert Q&A
Tips
- Hang around with friends who smile a lot. You'll reflect each others' smiles all the time.Thanks
- If you aren't someone who already smiles a lot, you may find that your muscles tire on smiling more often. Let them relax, then smile again, increasing the amount of smile time gradually until the muscles get used to more smiling.Thanks
- Maintain a smile notebook. Write down all the wonderful triggers that caused you to smile each day. Writing down the smile moments will reinforce the value of smiling all day for you.Thanks
Warnings
- Smiling in the face of an angry person can escalate anger. Use common sense and adjust your demeanor to match the need for keeping a person calm.Thanks
- Smiling all of the time may be inappropriate, such as at funerals or when the boss is getting bawled out by his or her head boss. You may come across as being unfeeling, secretly enjoying bad things happening or seeming superior.Thanks
- Smiling constantly is hard work.Thanks
