The past year has taken a toll on our mental health and wellness. As we juggle living and working from home, becoming at-home teachers and other life changes both big and small, it can be easy to let our self-care routines fall by the wayside.
As stress levels rise, it's more and more difficult to think about carving out time to spend on yourself. But the good news is that you don’t have to completely change your routine to benefit from all that wellness has to offer. In fact, one small way to increase your overall wellness is as simple as smiling.
Smiling offers so many great health benefits. It can correlate to a longer life, relieve anxiety and reduce the risk of heart disease. It can also alleviate stress and lower blood pressure. Smiling even strengthens relationships in both your personal and professional life, which is another great reason to smile a little more on a daily basis.
If you need a reason to smile during these tumultuous times, the health benefits of flashing a smile are all the convincing you need.
And if you want a little more inspiration, Auraglow created this cute printable that serves as a happy reminder to smile everyday.
So smile on, and happy Tuesday!
