“A Smile Must Be The Best Little Exercise Of The Body” – Frank A Hilario


Today, Sunday, 02 Oct 2022 (Manila), on FacebookI see Nelson Posadas’ sharing above. The original tag reads: “Smiling Cures. Holding a smile for 30 seconds, even if you’re not happy, tricks the brain out of depression and boosts the immune system to cure the body of Disease…”

Try it now – I did, and I am happier. Smile!

Invajy (Mr Posada’s source) has “150 Smile Quotes About Smiling To Put [A] Smile On Your Face” (30 Sept 2022). S/He says:

[A] smile is extremely powerful. Just remember when you come back from work with [off-mood], how your little one’s smile refreshes you and you forget about all other things. And, when you put a smile on your face in reciprocation, it brings a new positivity in the surrounding environment. Smiling reduces stress that your mind, body or soul [feels]. Smiling has countless positive effects on us. It stimulates the brain, awakens the positive vibes, makes you come across as friendly, and brings happiness to the surrounding people. Whether you say “good morning” to a stranger you pass [by] in the mall or wave hand towards your neighbor while you’re on [a] morning walk, adding a… smile to [the] simple [act] of kindness can make someone’s day.

I selected these quotes from Yvajy’s collection:

“A smile is the best makeup any girl can wear.” ~ Marilyn Monroe

“A smile is an instant facelift and an instant mood lift.” ~ Christie Brinkley

“Let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.” ~ Mother Teresa

“Smile more. Smiling can make you and others happy.” ~ Roy T Bennett

“It only takes a split second to smile and forget, yet to someone [who] needed it, it can last a lifetime.” ~ Steve Maraboli

“What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. These are but trifles, to be sure; but scattered along life’s pathway, the good they do is inconceivable.” ~ Joseph Addison

“A smile is a curve that sets everything straight.” ~ Phyllis Diller

“[A] smile is [a] magnet; it attracts happiness towards it.” ~ Invajy

“It takes a lot of energy to be negative. You have to work at it. But smiling is painless. I’d rather spend my energy smiling.” ~ Eric Davis

“Life is like a mirror. Smile at it and it smiles back at you.” ~ Peace Pilgrim

“Smile in the mirror. Do that every morning and you’ll start to see a big difference in your life.” ~ Yoko Ono

Try smiling now. You’ll be happier. Promise!@517

What’s Your 1K Worth Today? My 1K Is Worth Love In Communication For Village Development In The 21st Century (CoViD21)!

Image
Today, Friday, 02 Sept 2022, I post this essay as the 1000 th in this blog “CoViD21” – short for “Communication for Village Development in the 21st Century.” Blogging since 2000, I have decided to dedicate myself unrelentingly to village development – an area much neglected. Actually, the 999 essays published before this one appeared in my blog “ Towards A New Eden” but which I have come to the conclusion that building a New Eden is too much of a promise, and developing villages is a dream within one’s reach in a lifetime. The development of villages I have in mind is via Regenerative Agriculture (RA). Rodale Institute introduced the term “Regenerative Organic Agriculture” in 1989 “to distinguish a kind of farming that goes beyond sustainable” (undated, Rodale Institute, rodaleinstitute.org ). So, I now believe that “Sustainable Development” is inadequate! We must go after “Regenerative Development,” especially via Agriculture. At this point, I must say that the application of org

Knorr Of Big Business Unilever Thinks Big Business Regenerative Agriculture – My Tiny Country PH Also Should!

“Knorr’s plan for 50 regenerative agriculture projects is predicted to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and water use by an estimated 30% while improving biodiversity, soil health and livelihoods.” That is regenerative agriculture (RA) news by Julian Cirineo (05 Nov 2021, “Unilever Wants To Rethink How Farms Work To Secure Food And Resources For The Future,” Rappler , rappler.com ). Note: 50 (not 5 only) RA projects to improve greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) and water use by 30% – plus improving biodiversity, soil health and livelihoods. Note the last 7 words in the above paragraph. How can RA improve biodiversity? RA requires that the farmer practices multiculture (a few or many crops grown at the same time in the same place), where monoculture (such as rice-only or corn-only) is the practice – the biodiversity improves crop health because of the ensuing balance of nature, such as some organisms feed on other organisms that would otherwise become pests or cause diseases. RA is your

How Do We Celebrate “World Environment Day?” 2 Related Answers: “We Believe Farming Is The Biggest Job On Earth” – BASF. “Everyday Is Environment Day For Me!” – Frank A Hilario

We have ignored “World Environment Week” and it’s time to pay attention to it. All the more reason because wars of all kinds are going on all over the world, and I am scientifically convinced that the kind of environment we have, or the kind we cultivate, propagates such wars. The inclusive date for “Environment Week” according to Jenica Dizon is 20-27 March (upper image). Differently, the Government of Virgin Islands says it’s 04-10 June (lower image from   bvi.gov.vg via YouTube). What? We don’t even have a single inclusive date! We mortals do not care much about our environment to celebrate it, do we? Not the issue of the inclusive dates, what I want to tackle here is what we mortals can commonly do to truthfully celebrate World Environment Day/Week. The above image I saw on Facebook, the post “Be Green, Be Great” by Waves For Water Philippines Country Director Jenica Dizon, “highlights the importance of caring for issues facing our environment.” I have always cared much abou
