can you smile even your stress?

actually I think...very less number of ppl know how to smile still in stress. When I am in stress, I really cannot smile. Very hardly, I speak with other persons at that time. because that time, I always think how to achieve my target. I think smiling when you are stress, is a complete art. But once or twice I think I have tried to smile when in stress. I must confess that its a completely forced smile.

Hi asliah. In the office, I hide my stress with a smile and a mask of a pleasant face specially when facing a visitor or a client. Though my patience would be dangerously low. I also try not to bring my office stress at home. I often succeed since my daughter is a funny girl. And again, if I am nagged at home, my dangerously low patience erupts. Otherwise, I have a long patience. Happy new year asliah.

yes sometime I am forced to do that,because I do not want others to be a part of my stress and problem related to that...

I absolutely can as it is no one elses fault that I am stressed. So when smiling and laughing are called for I certainly can.

if someone smiles, he or she smiles by heart. and if someone does not smiles by his or her heart then its not the smile. Smile is a natural expiration of happiness that's why its can't be forced upon anyone.,

I can still smile even if I'm stressed out. It is better that way because you'll look older or you'll grow older earlier if you don't smile (and you are stressed). It actually helps you lessen the stress. So, smile a lot when you are stressed. And, it is a natural smile. I can even laugh. As long as I'm with my friends, I can laugh out loud. XD

Its hard to smile when you are stressed but its okay to cry when you are. It would be a forced smile because I wouldn't want to smile, I try to be positive but it doesn't always work. At least there is another day to smile.

It does happen that sometimes I will smile and laugh, despite being stressed. There are occasions when this is the case, although few.

I have experienced laughing and smiling because i was feeling the stress already. I laugh it out to release the feeling. But between stress points, no i think i haven't tried it. It's hard to think of happy moments when you are in a stress state.

Well for me, we can always smile but will it be genuine one? I believe not. When we are trying to smile when we are having a bad day or streesed out, the smile will not be a good one for sure :)

When I feel stressed I will try to make myself feel easy, so I will smile to myself even it is forced at first and I will sing to myself some joyful songs,then at last I will feel really relaxed and smile from my deep heart.

Hi, I keep my positive spirits always up and I smile even in pressures and stress. I just try to see the end result and its effect on me. Like what is going to happen If i am unable complete the said task, the answer is sky is not going to fall on me and this is not the end of my life or career and that gives me relief. It relieves me from stress and I can concentrate much on my work and make it happen positively. Try the above formula it works and make you smile even in stressful moments of life.

Hi asliah! Yeah I can still smile genuinely even if I am on a stress mode. As much as possible, I want to smile in order to lift up my spirit from gloomy situation. Sometimes, I watch comedy films in order to smile or laugh. Cheers!
