We know this can be hard for some people, but when we feel down, try to smile despite the sadness. Scientists say that smiling can affect certain muscles, making us feel happier. As these facial muscles move, the brain gets the signals and starts producing more endorphins. Also, smiling a lot is thought to make you feel more young than anything else!
