The Power Of A Smile

The Power Of A Smile


A smile is a beautiful thing. 

When we smile, something inside us lights up. Have you noticed those who are generous with their smiles have that light of joy and love reflected on their face? 

You just loved looking at them without knowing why. 

They have this certain charm you cannot explain and radiate this positive energy that makes you want to be near them. 

We all know that wonderful feeling when someone looked into our eyes and smiles at us. 

It's like, somebody actually notices and acknowledges us. 

Isn't it amazing how something seemingly insignificant like a smile can make someone's day? 

I love the smile or a grin on someone's face, especially children when they are genuinely excited and happy to see you. There is so much love and joy in that. 

Smiling Makes You More Attractive


This is very true and research has proved that. 

We find people are more attractive when they smiled. Smiling also makes you more dateable.

There was this book on body language I read some time ago where they conducted an experiment on body language. 

2 girls with the exact physical attributes (hair, clothes, etc) were stranded on the roadside with a stalled car. Nobody stops to help the first girl compared to the second girl where within minutes of standing at the roadside, people stop and offered help. 

The researchers played the video and discovered that the second girl has more open body language and lo and behold, she was smiling at passers-by. 

Compared to the first girl who was crossing her hands in front of her and was frowning.

I myself find those who smile are more attractive and approachable. The first thing that attracts me is someone's smile. 

I love it when someone smiles and their eyes crinkle when they do that. 

Have you not heard the phrase how someone falls in love with your smile? I might not have a perfect set or the whitest of teeth but it is my smile that attracts them. 

Smiling makes you look younger. I'm always all smiley, no wonder people couldn't guess my real age. Lols. 

Anyway, I also find that I get treated differently and nicer when I smiled at salesperson/front desk persons/waitresses/waiters or every person I met in my daily life. 

There was this one time I did a social experiment.

We were at this eatery and I smiled at the waiter who took our order, smiled, and said thank you when he came with our food and drinks. He remembers me till this day. 

But then only a genuine smile does the trick. constantly smiling for no reason...is creepy and fake smiling is FAKE. 

Smile and laugh every day that it becomes a part of who you are. Smile at yourself, at your loved ones, at a stranger. Spread some love, joy, and inspiration today.

Bolehkah Lemak Bertukar Menjadi Otot?

 Bolehkah Lemak Bertukar Menjadi Otot? Emily Sea/Unsplash Kadang-kadang kita akan jumpa personal trainer yang bagi nasihat "You kena buat squat/ sit up. You kena buat weight training untuk tukar lemak-lemak dalam badan jadi otot." Ataupun penjual supplement yang bagi claim yang bombastic "Fat burner ni boleh tukar lemak jadi otot tau!"  "Kita kena ambik whey protein sebab whey protein boleh tukar lemak jadi otot" Tapi sebenarnya, bolehkah lemak bertukar menjadi otot melalui senaman atau pengambilan fat burner? Jawapannya TIDAK BOLEH ya wahai kawan-kawan. Ianya mustahil dan tidak akan berlaku kerana lemak dan otot adalah dua benda yang berbeza dan tidak boleh bertukar ganti. Dia ibarat macam ni, boleh kah kita tukar buah oren jadi epal? Haa, tak boleh kan sebab dua-dua tu buah yang berlainan. Kita hanya boleh bina otot dan bakar lemak. Dua proses yang berasingan tetapi boleh berlaku secara serentak. Apa Beza Lemak Dengan Otot? Kedua-dua lemak dan otot adal...

Otot Lagi Berat Daripada Lemak? Pernah tak korang hadapi situasi macam ni. Bersenam dah all out, membanting tulang dan tenaga di gym. Dalam semangat nak lose weight tu, timbang diri setiap jam, setiap hari! Disebabkan dah berabis workout dan mengamalkan diet rumput rumpai, korang pun expect berat turun kan? Tiba-tiba bila naik atas penimbang tu, berat tak turun pun. Maintain je. Kadang-kadang lagi teruk. BERAT NAIK PULAK!! Bila terjadi perkara macam ni, korang pun berjalan perlahan-lahan ke sudut bilik, dan mengerekot di dalam bilik yang gelap sambil mengenang nasib. Sangat mematahkan semangat, berkecamuk jiwa dan raga. I know. I've been there. CPPS pun pernah mengalami perkara yang sama Workout dah betul, diet pula calorie deficit. You have done everything right but your weight INCREASED! Rasa nak putus asa dan minum racun rumpai. Kemudian ahli keluarga, PT atau kakak cleaner gym dengan penuh rasa kasihan cuba memujuk. "Hey! don't worry. You are gainin...

Garam Bukit Himalaya: Lagi Elok Daripada Garam Biasa?

Garam Bukit Himalaya: Lagi Elok Daripada Garam Biasa? "Kiah, kalau kau nak beli garam kan, elok beli garam Himalaya yang warna pink. Sebab aku ada baca kat Facebook hari tu, garam ni lagi elok banding dengan garam putih tu" Si Kiah ni tadi pun kebingungan. Betul ke garam pink Himalaya tu lagi elok. Harga dia pulak bukanlah murah banding garam biasa. Dunia Sains Pemakanan/ Nutrition ni kalau untuk yang tidak berapa arif, memang sedikit membingungkan.  So much conflicting information, so many diet trends to keep up with. Itu tak masuk lagi cerita pasal makanan sihat.  Apa I perlu makan kalau I nak kurus? Kenapa semua makanan "sihat" imported dan mahal-mahal belaka? Perlu ke nak makan olive oil, chia seed, oats, almond milk, yogurt kalau nak kurus? Kalau kalian baca artikel ni, mesti kalian rasa makanan secara sihat tu susah dan mahal kan? Kawan-kawan sis ramai yang tanya soalan berkaitan pemakanan. Contohnya, betul ke kalau I makan ni, I boleh kurus? Ataup...
