Are you feeling crappy, stressed out, distraught?

I guarantee that if you force a big-toothed-smile (not like 🙂, like 😀) for 1 minute, or better yet 5 minutes you'll release endorphins that will make you feel better. It is recommended that you do this where no one will see you, as they may think you have acquired some type of mania.

So how does this work? Are these muscles hardwired somehow to release endorphins?
 
Smiling for no reason works immediately on me.
Or I just say:
"Pins and needles, needles and pins. A happy man is a man who grins."

Yes - a study found that even "fake" smiling releases chemicals in your brain - not sure specifically if it's endorphins or not, however. 😛

No, no! Do it in public, where lots of people will see you. And for best results, also open your eyes as wide as possible and stare at people.
