If you’ve ever seen a commercial for prescription drugs you are aware of the term, “side effects may include.” The commercial spends 20 seconds covering the many reasons why we should ask our doctor about their product. But the last 10 seconds feature the phrase “side effects may include” and then a laundry list of ridiculous things that might happen when starting the prescription. Many times the side effects outweigh anything that can be helped by the drug.
A similar thing happens in other aspects of our lives. In order to help, I will be offering 10 seconds of warning in a new segment called “Side Effects May Include…”.
When Smiling, Side Effects May Include…

– Mood balloons to the size of a rainbow.
– Reduction of unwanted stress.
– Unusual urge to sing Bruno Mars.
– Facial expressions becoming extremely contagious to others.
– Uncontrollable desire to “take on the world.”
– Plummeting of blood pressure.
– Strange tendency to become irresistible to others.
– Developing a Super Man-like immune system.
– Redness of face caused by embarrassment from all smiles you receive back.
– Unstoppable shrinkage of doubt.
