June 2018 Newsletter

In the month of June we celebrate Father’s Day as well as Flag Day. However, there is a lesser known day to recognize in June. On June 15th The Power of a Smile Day is the day for everyone to share their smile.

Starting each day with a smile is more empowering than a pout or a grumble. When you smile at someone, you are telling them they are valued and worth the smile you just gave them. Smiles are morale boosters and confidence builders. Research has proved that smiling increases attractiveness and likability between humans.

Smiling, even if you do not feel like it, will lift your mood and make you a happier person. The health benefits of smiling include improved mood and increased positive thoughts, lower blood pressure, stress relief, better relationships and pain relief.
