Quotes That Will Get You Smiling

Of all the languages and cultures in the world, a universal way to express joy and happiness is to just smile. A smile is friendly, it’s inviting, and it’s seriously contagious. Smiles can affect your own mood, but it also makes those around you feel more at ease. There are studies that show smiling can improve productivity, and it invigorates us while simultaneously suppressing negative emotions.

Even forcing a smile can be a great way to improve your mood and release endorphins that act as a mild pain reliever.
