A baby smiles between 50-70 times a day, and a toddler approximately 600 times according to research (!)
I’m sure some of us have asked ourselves where that smile goes.
What robs us of it?– Goldie Hawn
I had never been a fan of Goldie Hawn, having assumed she’s a ditzy frothy air-headed blonde but I think I was wrong.
Like so many things, things are not as they appear – the proverbial, “never judge a book by its cover” lesson.
Anyway, what’s the answer? It’s a multiple choice test:)
A. Stress
B. Judgement/Prejudice
C. Fear
D. Aging – hardened arteries, hardened heart.
E. None of the Above.
F. All the Above.
G. Some combo – you tell me. Oh, yes, I forgot another one, i.e., “guilt”.
Was a bit surprised with this and took notice of the opener that said the stop will be “brief’… still, impressed with Fukushima version of “Happy”… :
So A-F; Stress; Judgement; Fear; Aging process or that de-ja-vu auto-pilot mode…and maybe feelings of guilt (How could I be smiling when so and so is suffering so much) I believe that with yoga, you can address them all. I feel compelled to share that belief so we can all be more “happy” … and hope that even at times of distress or misery…even in that “mud”, we can appreciate the lotus flower blossoming like a smile.
