Have you ever heard of the good ship lollipop? There was an actress named Shirley Temple who had curly hair and little girl and she used to sing good ship lollipop but she had this big smile, she'd go like this. How to smile. This is Dr. Paul author of boomer girls, a boomer's woman guide to men and dating. Smiling is important because it relaxes the facial muscles. Not that that's the only reason you want to smile. Smiling relaxes you as well and more importantly it relaxes the people around you. If you went into a meeting, and it's a tense situation and you smile, it relaxes you and the others. A little humor goes a long way but it works. And how you smile is by expressing your feelings in a positive way. And you can smile when you talk, it really makes others less defensive. And not only is it how you smile, but why you smile. Because you'll like yourself. And that's how you smile, if you don't like yourself, if you see someone who is depressed all the time, they're not smiling very much. But when you smile and that's the way in which you smile, a genuine, sincere smile, not some paste on like you see perhaps on television or worse yet in a political ad, it's how you smile and be genuine about it. This is Dr. Paul may your fantasies of today be your realities of tomorrow.
