Optimal Attitude Season: Smiles, Laughter, and Mental Health with Betty Norlin

Could you truly change your mental health and attitude just by smiling? Or looking at someone else smile? Could it truly be that simple? In today’s episode we will discuss the difference between real smiles, fake smiles, and laughter and what that can do for your mental health—whether it is you doing it, or whether you are watching someone else. In this session, Betty, one of our Ambassadors of Health, will share a lesson from her new series, Optimal Attitude. Her online course will be coming out in 2024.

On the verge of turning to a holistic antidepressant medicine, she realized she needed to learn how to increase the serotonin in her brain, and then share that information with others. Within a week, Positive Prime came into her life. You can hear her story on her website, www.bettynorlin.com.

In this session will explore:

• What studies on the smile reveal
• Whether or not facial expressions reveal inner thoughts
• How children respond to genuine versus fake smiles
• The power of the Duchenne Smile
• How countries around the world view smiling
