I recently started watching that "How To Basic" YouTube channel. I had no idea what it was about, and the images uses for the cover of the videos just looked like it was going to teach me how make ice cream or something. That's not really something I was interested in. Then I saw something about hot to make KFC friend chicken. I was curious to see how they pull off the spices and what not. It was just a guy starting off normal, and then going batsh*t insane by making a complete mess. It made me laugh and smile throughout the video and smile the entire time after. I watched these for at least an hour, and then I felt good the rest of the day. Smiling rules.

The video below shows the actual health benefits to smile. So watch it and try to smile more. Even if you have to force it... like when you go to

    The facial-feedback hypothesis states that whatever your facial expression is is what you are feeling, meaning that even if you are angry and you smile you will feel happy instead because of biofeedback from the facial muscles to the brain telling the brain what emotion to feel. However, people whose faces are paralyzed either permanently or temporarily can feel all the same emotions as before the paralysis occurred. Even those that are born with a condition that causes them to not be able to smile can feel the same amount of happiness as anyone else. Using facial-feedback, smiling even when you're not happy, is a form of mind-over-matter. The idea is that by smiling you're telling yourself that you are actually happy.…

    The facial feedback hypothesis expresses that an individual's emotional state can be influenced due to the change of one's facial expression that is associated with a particular emotion. The mimicking of a facial expression is based on an emotion that can induce a positive (smile) or negative (frown) feeling (Nevid, 2015, p. 306). However, forcing a smile is not that same as a genuine smile (“Duchenne smile”), and therefore, will only provide a temporarily positive emotional state. Nevertheless, if a person is down, a quick, positive stimulus might be exactly what a person needs at that moment (p. 306).…

    Marijuana has, compared to other both legal and illegal drugs, low effects on the human body. “No death from marijuana overdose has ever been reported and the ill effects of alcohol, nicotine, and prescription painkillers (...) vastly overweight those of marijuana” ( Ingraham, Janet. “Lee, Martin A. Smoke Signals: A Social History of Marijuana--Medical, Recreational, and Scientific”). Research has also shown that marijuana “ use does not lead to physical dependence, and there are no withdrawal symptoms when the drug is not discontinued” (“drug use” Britannica School.
