It's World Smile Day - spread kindness and bring joy to those around you with a simple smile!
It's time to smile and spread some joy on World Smile Day, which falls on the first Friday in October! This day was created by Harvey Ball, a commercial artist from Worcester, Massachusetts in 1963. He designed the iconic yellow smiley face as part of an advertising campaign for the State Mutual Life Assurance Company. Since then, it has become a symbol of happiness and positivity all over the world. So don't forget to take a few moments out of your day to smile and make someone else's day brighter – you never know how far it can reach!
Start your day by smiling at everyone you come across. This simple act can make a big difference in someone's day.
Write a card to someone you know, or even a stranger, and make sure to include a smiley face for good measure.
Volunteering your time to those in need can bring a smile to many faces.
Post a selfie of yourself smiling on social media and encourage others to do the same.
Send a text message with a smiley face to someone you care about.
Smiling is contagious, and by having a World Smile Day we can spread positivity to people all around the world. Smiles are infectious, and even when we may not feel our best, just seeing someone's smile can brighten up our day.
Studies have shown that smiling helps reduce stress, lifts our moods, lowers blood pressure and boosts the immune system. When we smile it releases endorphins - the brain's natural happy hormones - making us feel happier and more relaxed.
World Smile Day is a great way to show kindness and appreciation to those around us. By spreading smiles to friends, family members and even strangers, we can make their day a little bit better and help create a kinder world for everyone!
