Resting Smiley Face

Resting Smiley Face

Lisa DeKeuster Blog 0 0

Why did the world make such a big deal about “resting bitch face” but no one suggested we all try “resting smiley face” in its place?

I’m guessing it’s the same reason people complain about gas prices when they’re high, but don’t mention them at all when they’re lowered.

And don’t even get me started on the negative angle of the daily… and nightly… news!

Think about your attitude. How do you feel about the stuff that goes on around you? Are you more negative about random things that come up, or do you naturally put a positive spin on things?

Wherever you are on the scale of positive/negative thinking, you can change it. That’s one of the experiments with raising vibrations.

Of course you know how to change your attitude. Unfortunately, it is one of those many things in life that are more easily said than done.

I have one simple solution: experiment simply with “resting smiley face”.

Right now, notice your facial expression. Notice where in your face you feel tension, and where you feel relaxed. Are your eyebrows furrowed? Is your forehead scrunched up? Are you squinting your eyes? Or do they want to roll?

Change your face into a smile. It doesn’t have to be ear-to-ear. Just make it a soft, gentle, lighthearted smile. This can be forced- like a ‘fake it till you make it’ kind of thing. That’s totally okay! Because it will raise your endorphins; those are the feel good chemicals in your brain, so you’ll automatically become happier from there no matter what.

I don’t know why more people don’t practice this. Or, do people do this and just not talk about it? I think we should! I think we should talk about happiness and feeling good and how to make ourselves feel even better. We all have to experience tough times when it’s not easy to smile, but much of our lives we are in mundane situations that we can so easily make better by simply smiling to increase our endorphins and energy levels. Collectively, as a community, we can all become more positive together. Imagine the changes we would see in the world!

I know some people think these ideas are corny, but so what? Let those people suffer in their own pity, and be happy for you.

When I was a kid, I was crying about something before school. Once I felt better and stopped crying, I didn’t want to go to school because my eyes were swollen so the other kids would know I had been crying. My mom suggested I go to school with a big smile on my face. She said no one would ever be able to tell that way. So, I did! It felt silly to me, even as a little girl, but I really didn’t want them to know I’d been crying, so I did it anyway. I can still remember how people were reacting differently to me throughout the day. Most kids that looked at me smiled back. Kids that had never really acknowledged me before looked my way, and friends seemed happier around me. It was a great day!

I sort of made it a habit to smile a lot. At first, not even because of the positive attention, but rather because I was an emotional child, so I cried a lot. The older I got, the more embarrassing it was, so… the more I smiled throughout the day afterwards in attempt to hide my swollen eyes.

I made so many friends!

Try your resting smiley face today.
