Life can get us feeling blue a lot. Whether it be personal problems, public issues, or just being in a bad mood, you may have a frown that feels permanent. But we can change this! Here are eight reasons why today and every day you should turn that frown upside down.
1. There's no one else like you! Yay you!
Yes, nobody in the whole world, past, present or future, is just like you. You are one of a kind, and that's something to smile about!
2. You're reading this right now!
No, really—I mean it! Did you know that according to UNESCO about 26 percent of the world's adult population is illiterate? You have a great skill and education to be oh so happy about!
3. You live in such a beautiful place!
Think about Earth compared to other planets. Besides the obvious lack of oxygen on other planets, they're far more barren and (as far as we know) lifeless. From beautiful oceans to blooming flowers to the animals that roam, the Earth is—dare I say—magical. And you live on it every day! Go out and smell the roses—literally!
4. Speaking of animals... ANIMALS!
How precious are animals? There are no words for it! Spending some time with a pet, watching animal videos, even sitting outside enjoying the view of squirrels burying their acorns. Appreciating these lovely babes is a great way to grow a smile!
5. You're so gosh darn smart!
Humans are BY FAR the most intelligent species we know of! We invent, we're naturally the most logical and self-aware species, not to mention we're super social and humorous—and you're one of us!
6. So many people care about you!
Maybe sometimes it doesn't feel this way, or these people may not show it as much as they could, but between family, friends, teachers, and coworkers, and even people you pass by every now and then at the grocery store—there are so many people in your life who wish you nothing but goodness.
7. So many funny shows to smile about!
If you wanna smile and laugh for a while, I'd recommend shows like "Parks and Recreation," "Friends," and "Queer Eye," or watching stand-up comedy from people like Bo Burnham, John Mulaney, and Bill Burr. I'm sure a comedy show/special could give you a perfect reason to smile!
8. Last but not least—smiling makes you happier!
I know this sounds counterintuitive, but recent studies have found that making yourself smile for long enough will actually have a positive effect on your mood, so that eventually you can be smiley for real!
