The first step in this process is understanding why a smile is important. When you smile, your brain releases hormones that help boost mood, reduce stress, and improve overall health. In addition, a smile can improve interaction with other people, help you relax and just enjoy life.

To teach yourself to smile every day, start small. Just smile at yourself in the mirror when you wake up in the morning. Remember something nice that happened yesterday or something that you are looking forward to today. Find a way to add more positivity to your day.

If you have difficulty smiling, try to learn how to control your breathing. Deep breathing will help you relax and reduce stress. Look at a photo of a person who is close to you and whom you love - this can also help bring a smile to your face.

Ultimately, forcing yourself to smile every day is a process that will help you improve your mood, reduce stress and just enjoy life.
