Half-Smile
One simple way to relax your mind and body is to do the half-smile. The half-smile can also help you better accept the reality of your stressful situations. It can even help change how you feel!
Try this:
1. Relax your face from your forehead down to your jaw and chin.
2. Form your lips into a tiny half-smile.
3. Hold for 10 seconds.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3.
