“So many languages in the world,
and a smile speaks them all.”

The ability to smile is a gift to humans. It not only fills a mood of happiness and positive energy into one's own soul, but also spreads a feeling of good will, friendship, love, and care for the others. When you smile, you not only make yourself happy, but you also improve the psychological atmosphere around your family and other relationships,

Scientific discoveries lend credibility to what we have suspected all along: Smiling serves as both a physical and emotional release of tension, your body releases endorphins which makes you feel happy, reduces levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, and gives you a quick burst of energy.  Also a natural pain and stress reliever. People suffering from facial paralysis, and without the ability to smile, have been found to suffer more from depression.

Lack of smiling isn’t only a consequence of depression or sadness. It’s also a result of anxiety. When people are anxious, they tend to smile less. Some people have told me that when they force a smile under difficult circumstances, they actually start to feel better. 

Individuals who feel nervous about public speaking will smile in order to appear confident. The result is a more comfortable feeling as they make their presentations. People with phobias are sometimes helped by trying to smile and laugh during the feared situation. Smiling unleashes the power to “self-fulfill” a happy prophecy.

How to put a smile on your face:

• Spend time with friends and family who are most likely to cheer you up.
• Participate in telling and listening to jokes.
  
• Take time out and watch a film or a TV show you find funny.
• Reflect on happy memories, perhaps by looking through photographs.
• Even when you don’t feel like it, try and force yourself to smile – you may find that a forced smile becomes genuine.
  

If you’re feeling low or depressed, there are a number of Practitioners and opportunities here at Yes 2 Life who can help you, or you might find it comforting to speak to like-minded individuals on the Yes 2 Life Facebook.

Yes 2 Life runs a number of courses, seminars, and workshops on happiness and wellbeing as well. Please know that you are not alone. You are always welcome to come in for a cuppa’, a chat, a hug, a smile or all of them. It will be our pleasure.

With love and a great big smile,
Rayeleen :)

Book Suggestion by Eugene Chatelle

The Only Way Out is Within by Rohini Singh

Learn how to plug emotional leaks, stay away from emotional traps, and recognise the egos manipulations and avoid them. This book teaches you how to tune in to your physical body and identify it's subtle nuances so that you can emotionally guide yourself to a state of physical health and well-being. Society's conditioning teaches us to suppress emotions, suspect others, create dis-ease, and above all, inhibit ourselves. Crafty culprits such as worry, fear, guilt, regret, anger, non-forgiveness, self-pity, and hurt regularly trap us into states of joylessness. The ego delights in your inability to get rid of these negative emotions and plays games that drain you. Your mind often tears you away from whatever you happen to be doing and your concentration and focus are overwhelmed with too much data. If you're afflicted by any of these conditions, you're living in a disempowered manner and leading an unsatisfying life. In this book, Rohini Singh will help you change all that. She is an Alternative Therapist and author of several cookbooks.

Eugene says, "Each page contains the most nourishing insights and numerous recipes for improving our lives, in an easy to read, down to earth and compassionate format. Added to the pot are numerous sprinklings of quotes from many notable teachers who we all know and love.
I felt as if l wanted to go and have dinner with Rohini, sit at her table and drink in some of her sweet commonsensical wisdom and share in some of her delicious insights, somehow l feel as if l already know her!"

A wonderful prayer Deanna would like to share as she observes many people being hard on themselves:

"Today, SPIRIT. I ask that you help me to accept myself just the way I am, without judgment. Help me to accept my mind the way it is, with all of its emotions, hopes and dreams, my personality and my unique way of being. Help me to accept my body just the way it is, with all of its beauty and perfection. Let the love I have for myself be so strong that I never again reject myself or sabotage my happiness, freedom and love.

From now on, let every action, every reaction, every thought, and every emotion, be based on love. Help me, SPIRIT, to increase my self-love until the entire dream of my life is transformed, from fear and drama to love and joy.

Let the power of self-love be strong enough to break all the lies we were programmed to believe - all the lies that tell us we are not good enough, or strong enough, or intelligent enough, that we cannot make it. Let the power of my self-love be so strong that I no longer need to live my life according to other people's opinions. Let me trust myself completely to make the choices I must make. With my self-love, I am no longer afraid to face any responsibility in my life or face any problems and resolve them as they arise. Whatever I want to accomplish, let it be done with the power of my self-love.

Today, help me to love myself so much that I never set up circumstances that go against me. I can live my life being myself and not pretending to be someone else just to be accepted by other people. I no longer need other people to accept me, or tell me how good I am because I know what I am.

With the power of self-love, let me enjoy what I see every time I look into the mirror. Let there be a big smile on my face that enhances my inner and outer beauty. Help me to feel such intense self-love that I always enjoy my own presence. 

Let me love myself without judgment, because when I judge, I carry blame and guilt, I have the need for punishment, and I loose the perspective of my love. Strengthen my will to forgive myself in this moment. Clean my mind of emotional poison and self-judgment so I can live in complete peace and love.

Let my self-love be the power that changes the dream of life ... Help me to become Grateful, Generous, and Loving so that I can enjoy all of my creations forever and ever. Amen"
