according to studies, it has been revealed that people smile, on average, 50 times per day. to discover if this average applied to our individual selves, this whimsical wednesday we counted our smiles.
the parameters for my smile counting was that i would count smiles for 12 hours, between six am and six pm. all smiles were counted; smiles when we encounter persons we pass in a hallway, smiles that occur during conversing with others, smiles given when thanking someone for their help, smiles that are provoked through reading or hearing or even thinking about something and any other that might cross my face.
based on my smile count "rules" i smiled a total of 140 smiles, 50 of which were smiled by 11 am! my smile count was 90 smiles over the average 50. it was neat to discover that i smile a great deal during any given day. as a result of our smile study for whimsical wednesday, i think i will continue to be aware of smiling and remind myself to do it offer everyday! how about you? how many smiles did you smile today?
