Your Secret Weapon
By Leanne Crain

What if I told you that you currently possess something that will lower your blood pressure, boost your immune system, relieve stress and make you look younger? As an added bonus, it will change your mood, improve the moods of others around you, and make you seem successful and confident, even if you aren't feeling that way at the moment. If you aren't wearing one right this second, you CAN have one, and it's absolutely FREE.

Curious yet?

You're secret weapon - although often underused - is your smile!

Don't underestimate the power of a genuine smile. Medical studies have shown all the health benefits of smiling, even to the point of reducing your number of cold's and flu's. Smiling can trick your body into changing moods, and will help you stay positive while dealing with day to day stresses. Make sure your smile includes your eyes. Better still, smiling is contagious! When you smile at your customers, team members, boss, etc, people will start smiling back and their moods change as well. Scientists have proven that people automatically react to a genuine smile by smiling themselves, this starts right from birth. Once you make them smile, their brain will send a message to them that they are happy, and in turn they will pass on that smile. In fact, you can even put a mirror by your phone and practice smiling while talking on it - the person on the other end will be able to hear the smile in your voice.

So, next time you are facing a challenge, stop, focus, smile, then start working on the solution.

Remember -
