National Smile Power Day

What makes you smile?

Your children? Husband? Pets?

For me it’s my children and husband. I imagine if I had pets they may make me smile too!

Today is National Smile Power Day. A day to make others smile as well yourself.

Best Offers Bingo recently asked 1,000 people across the UK ‘What makes you smile?’

People living in England and Wales both said that their children make them smile with Wales coming out on top with 21.1% of people saying their children. 7.6% of people in England said their children.

In Scotland 7.2% of people said that sunshine makes them smile and in Northern Ireland 17.6% of people said that life makes them smile.

Sunshine definitely makes me smile too. If I wake up and the sun is shining it instantly puts me in a good mode. It makes me feel motivated and eager to go outside and seize the day!
In terms of the ages of the 1,000 people that took part in the survey, the results are broken down as follows:

18-24 My family 6.8%
25-34 My children 12.1%
35-44 My children 13.8%
45-54 Comedy 9.3%
55-64 Sunshine 9.8%
65+ Grandchildren

I fall into the 25-34 age bracket and have to agree that my children definitely make me smile more than anything in the world. Although having said that can also be the source of a great deal of stress too! Thankfully though the good times outweigh the stressed out times!

Laughter is important too. It’s a great way to release tension and relax which ultimately lifts your mood as well. Whether it’s a mixture of your family members making you laugh, a funny moment, film or night out, laughter is a great way to put a smile on your face!

What will you do to make yourself smile today? Will you do anything to make others smile?

I’d love to hear your ideas!
