The positive definition of a smile is an upward curving of the corners of the mouth that indicates pleasure, friendliness, or amusement. The Vietnamese Buddhist Monk and poet, Thich Nhat Hanh, writes in Being Peace: “If we turn a smile on, we really are the smile…Even the tiniest bud of a smile on our lips has the healing power to relax all the muscles in our face, banish worries and fatigue, nourish awareness, calm us, and return us to the peace we thought we had lost.”
“A smile is a curve that sets
everything straight.”
~ Phyllis Diller
AFFIRMATION: I KNOW WHEN I SMILE IT BRINGS HAPPINESS TO ME AND THOSE AROUND ME.
