Smiling: an international language 

Have you ever thought of the value of a smile? It is free to give and can change the mood of the person who receives it. Everyone can do it, even little babies. It connects us with other humans, no matter what language we speak. Beyond being able to make connections with other humans, do you know that establishing a habit of smiling on a regular basis also has wonderful health benefits? Studies have shown that even if you are not having a good day, smiling can boost your mood. It’s because the physical act of smiling sends signals to your brain that you are actually happy. Smiling also reduces stress levels because it releases chemicals called endorphins.
