Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy (Photo by Eric McGregor)
What’s the one thing you can do to cheer yourself out of a deep funk?
No, not that. And not that, either! Try smiling instead. Yes, it’s just that simple. And cheap. In the very best sense.
Neuroscience will back you up. Recent research shows that smiling is the pleasure equivalent of “up to 2,000 chocolate bars.” Don’t like chocolate? No problem. Smiling is also “as stimulating as receiving up to $25,000.”
So think of your lips as a two-way switch. Turn them upward and you’ve got it made. Turn them downward and you’ll pass go without collecting $25,000.
