The Ripple Effect of a Smile: Kindness in Its Simplest Form

Jul 16, 2024

Life can be tough. We all face challenges, big and small, that can leave us feeling down. Sometimes, a bad day feels like a storm cloud following you around. But what if there was a simple way to break through that negativity, for yourself and for others? The answer lies in something so effortless, it might surprise you: a smile.

A genuine smile is more than just a physical expression of happiness. It’s a silent language, a universal beacon of warmth and connection. 

We often go through our days on autopilot, rushing from one task to the next. But have you ever stopped to consider what’s going on beneath the surface for the people you encounter? The barista brewing your coffee, the food delivery attendant, the cashier ringing you up, the person walking their dog in the park – they could all be battling an invisible struggle.

Maybe someone you know just received difficult news, or perhaps they’re worried about a loved one. A simple smile, genuine and warm, can be a beacon of light in their dark moment. It acknowledges their presence, shows you see them, and subtly conveys a message of support.

The beauty of a smile lies in its universality. It transcends language and cultural barriers. It’s a form of nonverbal communication that speaks volumes.

Science even backs this up. Studies have shown that smiling releases endorphins, those feel-good chemicals in our brain. This, in turn, can elevate mood and reduce stress. Interestingly, the benefits aren’t just limited to the person smiling.

Smiling is contagious. When you smile at someone, it triggers a mirror neuron response in their brain, making them more likely to smile back. This creates a positive feedback loop, spreading good vibes and lifting spirits.

Think about it this way. You might be the only smile someone sees all day. That one small gesture could be the difference between them feeling invisible and feeling seen. It could be the spark that ignites a positive thought or a memory that brings them comfort.

Making someone smile doesn’t require a grand gesture. It can be as simple as offering a genuine smile to the waiter at a restaurant, the mail carrier delivering your package, or even a stranger on the street.

In a world that can often feel harsh and impersonal, a smile is a reminder of our shared humanity. It’s a way to connect with others, even if just for a fleeting moment. So next time you’re out and about, remember the power you hold in your own smile. Share it generously, and watch the ripple effect of kindness unfold.

You never know, your smile might just be the sunshine someone needs to brighten their day.

My husband suffers from severe leg cramps. And not restless leg syndrome. I stoped to talk to Nikki at HOPE LIVES! I was tell her about my husbands horrible leg cramps. She asked me if he would use PROPER CANNA NATURALS? The one Ms. Nikki suggested was a cream the name is Rocky Mountain chill. It’s a muscle gel. I brought it home he looked at it two or three days tried it and almost instantly it took his cramps away. He spent two days with no leg cramps whatsoever using that cream. We ran out of the sample I have ordered the big bottle and I can’t wait for it to get here. It was hard to imagine that some thing all natural could do what it did for him and he feel better and get sleep. Not only him but me because he was not up and down all night . Thank you Nikki for the recommendation. It’s the best. I will be looking into their other products. Sincerely Mikie

I love my monthly subscription to Proper Canna Naturals! The soft gels are part of my daily routine and the Rocky Mountain Chill feels good on a sore back. All of their products are made with Organic Colorado hemp and lots of love 🥰

I recently switched from another big box brand of CBD oil to Proper Canna. Within a few weeks I knew I had made a really great decision. My back use to hurt every day of the week. I have about 1-2 days a month after heavy exercise now that I will get moderate pain. The customer service is stellar and the product ships to your home very quickly. I love the packaging and supporting a small business, all while feeling better inside and out. I do have to rave about the Rocky Mountain Chill Gel. It can kick a headache is 10 minutes! My husband and I both absolutely love it. I would highly recommend Proper Canna to anyone

I stopped by this last Friday to try one of their CBD tinctures. Justin was AMAZING! We talked about the different products, and I ended up getting a bundle with the Rocky Mountain Freeze lotion. WOW I am very impressed with the quality of both. Better then other brands I have tried! I recommend them to EVERYONE! Support Fort Collins local!

Tried a few of their products, and am really impressed at the quality! The dreamsicle tincture has really helped my sleep quality, which helps with my overall wellness. Met the owner, Dan, and such a stand up guy too! You can tell he is so passionate about his products, and after trying them myself, I can see why! Would highly recommend Proper Canna Naturals!!

As an avid proponent of grass roots businesses that do it right. Not only have I tried most of the products Proper Canna produces but I have incorporated most of their products into my lifestyle, permanently. The muscle gel has come through for me when my body aches after an intense yoga session or a long bike ride and if I’m cramping. The tincture supports my overall well being and keeps me focused and on point.

I use the cooling muscle gel and love it! As a triathlete there are days that every inch of my body aches and the cooling muscle gel helps tremendously with recovery. I’ve tried other products and this is by far the best!
