What Our Debilities Cost

I want to share with you yesterday’s saying on the calendary.

“Our debilities should cost a smile, but not our humour.”

(from Oliver Tietze)

What does us say this sentence? In my opinion Tietze recommend to accept our debilities. To smile at them to forgive us to not be perfect.

Feel free to discuss about it.

Happy smiles,

Mira =)

Physical components of a smile

How many muscles do you guess to work to make you smile?

4? 10? 20? 30?

Well, I see you have no idea 😉

Now let consider the opposite?

How many muscles do you need for frowning?

More or less what do you guess? (nice rhyme :))

I know how shall you know it as nobody has told you before. Therefore I will tell you: 43 = forty-three

I don’t want to overstrain your math skills but you will agree that you need more than double amount of muscles for frowning than for smiling!

Why do you do this hard work?

Consider it takes the less effort for you to smile 2 minutes than to frown for 1 minute. (If you can speak about effort when you are smiling.)

I hope in the future I will find more about which muscles take part because on the other side working muscles keep you healthy.

I found this information on “What’s in a smile?”-blog where you can find something about the relation of a smile, braces and white stripes.

Enjoy your day, don’t overwork your muscles but smile!

Draw It everywhere!

Hey, smilers out there!

Do you remember as a kid when you draw this and that in the sand or snow or on the steamy window?

What did you feel while gazing your creation? Wasn’t there a certain satisfaction?

Yesterday I did a walk through the snowy forest. My thoughts were wandering and I considered that I can’t give a smile to someone in the lonely forest. But then it hit me: Draw a smiley in the snow!

I did it and it gave me happy feelings because I know the one who will pass will put a smile on his face.

It cost me only a few seconds – as a real smile – but I know the effect will be great!

Look for your next occasion to pass a drawn smiley by! There are so manys!

And consider that more than one person will see your smiley and smile! How does it feel for you to shift the mood of many people?

And if you see a drawn smiley anywhere, smile and thank for it. Maybe you want to give this smiley a mate?

Smiling regards and be creative!

Smiling And Insomania

Smiling and insomania? What is the connection will you ask.

There is a little technique which can help you to fall asleep faster.

When you can’t sleep you turn from one side to the other and again and again, don’t you?

These movements keep you awake. And that you do it with a grim face doesn’t improve the situation.

So next time you can’t sleep, try to put a smile on your face and lie motionless. (The position is too unconfortable? Well, you can turn but do it in a calm and peaceful way that your body knows you want to sleep)

While you smile think about beautiful memories or pictures and expect to fall asleep without force.

Surely, your success depends on how seriously you try it. Only keeping one minute quiet won’t help you.

Therefore, other tips for a good and fast sleep:

– use your bed only for sleeping that your brain and body know when you go into bed it is time to sleep

– keep your sleep room dark and quiet (for kids it is fun to build a little, dark cave)

– set the temperature between 17°C-20°C

– Say to you: I am sleeping, I am sle..e..p..p..i..i..ing.. I.. am.. sl..ee..pi..nnng .. you know, just in the way you would say it when you are almost asleep. Remember the “fake it until you make it”. It works here too!

It would be great to hear your experiences or if you add further solutions.

Have a good sleep with smiling dreams,

Mira =)
