Happiness Hack: Day 27 - Smile at Someone (Including Yourself)

Daily Happiness Hack

As part of this January series, The Happier Life Project shares one gentle happiness hack each day... small, supportive shifts to help you feel a little calmer, lighter, and more connected to yourself and others.

In today’s episode, Gabby explores the surprising power of smiling - both genuine and intentional - and how even a soft, gentle smile can support your emotional wellbeing. Drawing on the facial feedback hypothesis, this episode explains how smiling can trigger the release of mood-boosting chemicals in the brain, reduce stress in the body, and create tiny moments of warmth and connection in everyday life.

A kind reminder that a single smile, including the one you offer yourself, can make a real difference to how you feel.
