Do you make it a point to smile?

You do frown when you are in pain. I lived 7 years in constant pain and I have frown lines. I am glad you have noticed this and will try to smile. We need to it takes less muscles to smile than it does to frown. Keep up the good work.

Yes, caver1, I do smile as often as I can. It can be hard at times when life gets in the way, but smiling and laughing really make me feel better. Like you, I do notice that I frown sometimes and quite frankly, it hurts the face. HA!! Did I make you smile. I'm trying. Keep smiling. All the best to you.

I am in the habit of trying to make a point to smile, a smile can really change someone's day. There's the quote that goes something like this "Stop Frowning, You never who's waiting to fall in love with your smile" or something like that.

Well yes, I try to manage a smile even if I'm down because it helps me a lot. It is as good as a good laugh. Most of us forget to smile.

yeah. it makes other people smile too. it brightens up my day and brightens up the day of other people i smiled to. :)

i always make time to smile everyday coz i know everyday is already a good reason for me to smile, as im healthy and im working, unlike those whose suffering a lot while still in the hospital nor stuck inside their house coz they are suffering from sickness. and those that still looking for job.

I think its pretty hard to smile while doing any type of exercise. We might look pretty silly with a big grin while trying to lift heavy weights for instance!But I do try to smile. If I am out for a walk and another person is passing me I will smile and nod. What is that old saying..smile it increases your face value!

Hello caver1, I am like you. I think I fown more than smile or even scoul so like you are am smiling more. I even trying to say Hi more to people I do not know to make me feel better and get me into the habit of smiling. I want the smile to natural not forced smile that some people think they are smiling but you know it force smile. Thank you for a lovely question. Good luck on rehab! How much longer to have to be rehab? Happy Easter Weekend Sincerely Unique16

i do make it a point to smile sometimes even there is no way to smile or laugh i really do smile. because smile can makes you happy all day. about the frown i have no idea about that because i always do smile to have a great day.

well its like this that sometimes we may smile in acasual mode without any reason!its the genuine smile i some how i dont want any reasons to smile!i smile even wihhout any point

Sometimes i do sometimes i dont. When im infront of someone , like in a meeting business meeting i tend to smile alot even if i dont like the person im smiling to. But because i need to i have to smile.But after sometime my jaw is tired lol.But to the question do i make it a point to smile? no, there are times that i just dont feel like it , im that honest in my life, if i dont have a reason to smile then i dont. I dont care if people tag me as a killjoy or someone whose short tempered because the reality is thats me. Smiling is done when your happy feeling fulfilled or with someone you like, its not something that you have to do all day without any reason at all;)

Yes, I do smile often. I smile back at people who smile back and even those who dont. It lifts up my mood. And for me it attracts good vibes.

Yes, I have to especially in the nature of my business where I deal with customers. Eventhough I'm having a bad day I see to it that I accommodate them well and try to give them a smile. Sometimes when people don't see you smile that often they will have the impression that you're a snobbish person and that is not a good reflection of you as a person, so smile avoid frowning. Just like what the song says, 'smile though you're heart is aching!'

Yes. :) I'm jolly by nature. People's impression of me is that I'm not capable of getting mad. Funny but they think of me that way. It is maybe because they see me as a happy person, who always puts a smile on her face. I just love smiling & greeting people around (a simple "Hi" or "Hello" will do). But of course, that impression that I don't get mad is wrong. I think all people get mad even the happiest person on earth might have gotten mad at one point of his life. =P

I try to always remember to smile! It makes the person looking at you feel good! Plus I think it feels good yourself to have a smiling face. I just think people look better when they're smiling too. I guess I don't always have it on my mind to remember to smile, but I do try my best!

I really do whenever and wherever. I would rather try to put a smile on my face than answering my friends question to why I am frowning. I do get tired answering those questions to why this and that. So I definitely make a point to always put a smile on my face even if I am down and out.

i dont want to smile alone as it makes me feel crazy, unless i saw something nor heard something that was funny then maybe i will smile, nor if i talk to someone whose funny or if we are talking funny things then thats the only time i will smile. but if theres no reason to smile at all then why wold i smile. better yet to watch funny movies instead and not to smile alone without any reason.

I think I am one of those people who has a permanent frown on the face. So smiling alwyas take extra effort. Although I would enjoy a joke here and there, I think my frown has already set in. But you are right, I should start smiling. I read somewhere that it isn't only good for the people that you smile at, it also has its benefits to ones' self. I am smiling right now, and you're right, I look silly.

That's what I always forget to do...smile. I mean if there's nothing to smile about, why should I? But recently, I also noticed that my wrinkles are building up in my forehead. I just thought it's because of my age, I'm 48, you know. But last month, I got to bump off a high school classmate and I noticed that she's got less wrinkles than mine. She said that she made it a point to smile always because she said that smiling exerts less face muscles than frowning aside from not stressing herself so much. So, I think I should work out a routine of smiling every time, I guess, it's easier to do than frown.

Yes, because smiling eliminates my stress and litfs up my spirit. Thankfully, in our home, i have so many reasons to smile because of the hapiness and the people that surrounds me, even if i don't want to smile not possible to frown.
