We had our daily video sales meeting, and when I entered the room, it brightened my day.

I saw the team with big beautiful smiles. For a reason I can’t remember, I was edgy. Once I saw there faces, it changed the course of my day.

Take a moment to recall the past few weeks. What were some of your best moments?

In those moments, you likely had a smile on your face.

If you can’t recall these special moments, likely, you weren’t intentional enough to be happy.

You need to smile more because it changes the course of your day.

Happiness is what makes us smile. It’s unlikely you’ll see Debby Downer with a sweet, bright smile.

She’s more likely to sport a frown.

According to Dr. Isha Gupta, a neurologist from IGEA Brain and Spine says, a smile causes a chemical reaction in the brain.

This reaction leads to the release of various hormones, including dopamine and serotonin.

Dopamine increases our feelings of happiness, while what serotonin releases are associated with reduced stress.
