Smiling involves the zygomatic muscles of the cheek and the eye. A full smile creates "crows feet" - the smile wrinkles around the eyes. Use of zygomatic muscles tells your brain to be happy. Perhaps that's why people who suffer from facial paralysis, and cannot smile, are more apt to be depressed.
My Professional Goal? Your Happiness. I want to put your zygomatic muscles to work!
That's why my professional motto is: KEEP SMILIN'
Choosing mattresses and furniture can be difficult for some; but there is no reason it can't be enjoyable. That's why I try to give each customer a reason to smile.
Smiling and laughing are good for your health. Some scientific findings:
1) Endorphins - These are brain chemicals that function as neuro-transmitters, and which make us feel happy. Laughing releases endorphins.
2) Health - A good laugh is beneficial to the lungs, boosts immunity, and burns calories.
3) Energy - Laughing increases energy and feeling of well-being.
4) Stress - Several things happen when a body is under stress:
a) heart rate accelerates
b) digestive system shuts down
c) blood sugar levels increase
Laughing reduces levels of cortisol, the stress hormone.
TIP
Next time you feel stressed, make a conscious effort to do two things:
1) Take Slow, Deep Breaths.
2) Create Crows Feed. Make a conscious effort with your eyes, using your zygomatic muscles.
