YOUR SMILE IS AMONG YOUR MOST<\/strong> influential assets! But, that doesn\u2019t mean your smile has to be a perfect, \u201cmovie star\u201d smile for you to harness its power. <\/p>\n

Step 1: Practice, Practice, Practice<\/h4>\n

Life\u2019s too short to skip the simple things that make you happy. Smile more. Smile and laugh, proudly. Abundantly. Invite people to share in the things that make you smile. Your smiles will\u00a0foster gratitude. Smiling can become a habit. Seek the opportunity. <\/p>\n

Step 2: Be Aware Of The Smile\/Emotion Connection<\/h4>\n

Author and poet, Th\u00edch Nh\u1ea5t H\u1ea1nh once said, \u201cSometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.\u201d\u00a0We often only think about the way positive emotions trigger smiles, but it works the other way too.<\/strong> Smiles trigger positive emotions. They can even help us better deal with stress or pain.   [youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SQIVslZIMXI?rel=0&w=543&h=407] <\/p>\n

Step 3: Eliminate The \u201cCourtesy\u201d Smile<\/h4>\n

Make a conscious decision to replace every half-hearted smile given in politeness with a genuine smile. You can do it! <\/p>\n

Step 4: Remember How Attractive Your Smile Makes You<\/h4>\n

A recent study of 5,000+ singles found that both men (58%) and women (71%) judge the opposite sex MOST (and FIRST) on the appearance of their teeth. Smiles invite and strengthen relationships. <\/p>\n

Step 5: Keep Your Smile Healthy<\/h4>\n

Treat your smile with the love it deserves. Brush and floss daily, and schedule regular checkups. <\/p>\n
