Smiles from children across the globe combine to present a cheerful diversion in this video to help you unwind. Designed with advice from an expert psychologist to help reduce stress levels, the film is a reminder of the value of sharing a smile . A smile can demonstrate so many things, but it is generally associated with happiness and contentedness. Research has demonstrated that smiling can inspire qualities such as trustworthiness and attractiveness. Furthermore, a smile is often contagious and can therefore bring happiness to others. A smile can speak a thousand words, and it transcends all barriers - culture, age, race, religion, sex, ability, socio-economic status -- smiling is a universal language. It can alter your outlook or perception - when someone smiles at you, it can give you such a feel-good factor . The best time to watch this film is when you don't feel like smiling.
