These days I'm insecure about smiling, because I just got braces on my teeth (again). Which is obviously a shame because, "research has verified that smiling increases feel-good chemicals such as serotonin and dopamine in the brain, thereby reducing stress and promoting feelings of relaxation."

Want to smile? "An authentic smile is the product of a reflex generated by the limbic system, the brain's emotional center," and "faking a genuine smile isn't just hard - it's scientifically impossible" . . .
So instead, try to ...
- Think about things that make you happy
- Spend time with amusing friends
- Watch comedy
- (Oh, and if you ever have braces, diligently wear your retainer afterwards!!)
