Smiles are contagious!

It's True!

Did you know that emotions are contagious? It's True! In fact, there is even a name for it "emotional contagion."

Have you ever been around a group of people when someone starts to laugh...and suddenly everyone is laughing? Or, in a group of people when someone starts to cry...and suddenly several others are crying? That's emotional contagion.

And just as a laugh...or a tear...is contagious, so is a smile!

Studies have shown that emotions are easily passed from one person to another, often without either party realizing it.

Don't believe me? Give it a try...SMILE at those you come into contact with today. Make it a practice to see how many people you can spread the SMILE bug to!
