Smiling is such an important part of everyday life.

1. It's good for you. Some scientists say that laughing for 15 minutes a day can burn anywhere from 10-40 calories. You don't even need that stupid diet you hate anyways!

2. Smiling is fun! Imagine one of the times you laughed so hard you could barely breathe, wasn't that an amazing feeling? Just listening to that funny joke or watching that hilarious video and absolutely losing it! It doesn't get much better.

3. You deserve it. Whatever you're doing whether it be working in an office at a desk or on a construction site, you deserve to be happy and smile at least once a day. Everyone deserves some sort of happiness, and no one should deny themselves a good smile.

4. It looks spectacular on you. There is nothing better than seeing someone who is genuinely happy just smiling from ear-to-ear. It's one of my most favorite sights and I cherish seeing another person enjoying life so much.

5. Life is too short. We don't get enough time on this beautiful planet to be anything but happy. Life is beautiful and you should find any and all possible ways to insure that you are living it to it's fullest potential.

6. Smiles are contagious. There's nothing more contagious than a smile. So smile big, teeth and all, and allow your smile to make someone else's day better. We're all in this whole life thing together and we have to help each other out sometimes.

7. A smile a day keeps the doctors away. When you smile, chemicals are released into your body making you feel happy and lowering your stress levels. Lowering your stress levels can definitely improve your health and your way of living!

Moral of the story: Life is a beautiful thing! Don't stress about that paper you don't think you did well on or that presentation you have due tomorrow. Take some time for you, grab your favorite coffee, listen to your favorite song, whatever makes you happy and just smile.
