1. Smile  – We generally smile when we are happy for some reason. But usually, kids don’t need any particular reason for smiling. They smile whenever they feel like doing so. Actually, there is a science behind it which states that smile and happiness are just complementary to each other. In other words, we smile because we want to be happy,  and when we are happy the brain releases dopamine, which makes us happier. So, the next time you find yourself feeling upset, gift yourself a lovely smile and see the magic. This will not only make you healthier but also happier.
