An experiment with a smile

Have you ever thought about how great a smile has in our life? I will not open America, saying that it is huge, because we smile at least ten times a day, or even more often; With a smile we begin acquaintance, we say "I love you"; We smile when we read, when we watch films, wake up or fall asleep ... The smile paints almost every person, makes him “glow”, and disposes to himself. Many of us know that it is worth smiling when you speak on the phone, or turn to a stranger, but that a smile can really improve our life, for example, I was not in the know. Until I read the intricate parable from the book "The Experience of the Fool, or the key to insight. How to get rid of points"; It makes no sense to bring it here, I will retell the general meaning - a smile on the face and direct posture can cure many diseases, and in this the hero of the parable was convinced of his own experience. Like everyone, to the best of a fascinated and curious person, I decided to check this fact, and began to smile absolutely without a reason for any time of time. And now, when a week has passed, I can already share my results.

Time - 2 hours. At first, my friends and I are happy to smile. Then the muscles of the face begin to hurt. We laugh with all our might, we ourselves are very stupid. At the end of the second hour, a wisdom tooth takes place, which was ill for 2 days - the reason was not clarified, it is quite possible that Ketanov’s tablet finally affected. After the end of the experiment, all three have a great mood, it is very difficult not to smile. For "2 hours of smiles" we have never said an obscene word, not a single claim to each other.

Time is an hour. I start the experiment in the subway, alone. Smiling to themselves is very difficult, people in the carriage look with suspicion. A young man flirted in a minibus, I thought I smiled at him. The result is usually after arrival from nature, I am very easy to annoy from the metro and minibuses. This time this was not. The muscles of the face were sick and there was a great mood

Time - 2 times for an hour. In the hairdresser, hair was cut off a little longer than I wanted. There was no desire to quarrel, the world was beautiful. Yes, the master looked at me suspiciously, but made a discount. At home, my mother also looked with suspicion, told her about the experiment. She praised and fed lunch.

Time is an hour. Smiling constantly for an hour is already very easy. This time she smiled again in the subway and minibus. I almost never looked at people, it hurts their face sullen.

Time is an hour. The institute has 6 pairs, on the first school day. I smile after a particularly complex couple, mood and inner condition returns to normal. The classmates giggle, but in general, their reaction is more pleasant than those who are watching me in the subway.

Time - 40 minutes. She simply could not stand it, by the evening she was very tired, and the smile simply did not hold on her face. From the positive - as soon as I started smiling, my friends and I immediately "moved" from a few -hour standing in Friday traffic. They laughed very well.

Time is an hour. Metro, minibus. There are only gray sad faces around. I didn't notice this before.

Results: In the description of the experiment, only dry facts. In fact, the week was very heavy emotionally, there was a lot of what usually causes me tears, irritation, bad mood, etc. For a week I cried only once, completely left the standard "autumn" spleen, almost stopped breaking into loved ones, and calmed down internally. It seems to me, from a purely psychological point of view, a smile is the best medicine. I will practice the "hour of smiles" further, not for health, but for the sake of internal and external harmony with the world. What I wish you!

PS And this is my smile! How do you smile?
