#FreshTake – Smiles are contagious
Approach a task happy and smiling, and your productivity will improve

We all want to make the world a better place. There’s one simple act we all can do to make that happen. Smile more. Try it, you’ll like it.
A nice smile not only lifts your spirits, but makes people witnessing your smile feel better, too. Smiling is paying it forward. Smile and the world really does smile with you.
Convey kindness

Confidence
A smile indicates confidence. Try it if you’re feeling a bit uneasy.
Mood enhancer
Smiling improves your mood, and the moods of those around you.
Welcome
People know they are welcome when they receive a smile.
Gain trust
People who smile are regarded as more trustworthy than those who don’t.
Improve your health
Smiling reduces stress, which is linked to various diseases. Lessen the odds of heart disease, diabetes, and other stress-related illnesses with a smile.
More energy
A quick smile gives you a fast energy boost.
Laws of attraction
Smiling people are generally thought of as more attractive, even if they don’t possess traditional good looks. Think about it – don’t you know a basically plain individual whose smile lights up their face and improves their appearance?
Make new friends
People who smile a lot are seen as more approachable. A happy face invites new friends and encourages shy people to make a move they otherwise wouldn’t consider. A smile is a signal you are willing to speak with someone.
New situations
Feel less awkward in new situations by maintaining a smile.
Increase your productivity
Approach a task happy and smiling, and your productivity will improve.
Service with a smile
Smiling and good service go hand-in-hand.
