• Smiling, laughing, and positive thinking have been shown to have a huge number of health benefits to both mind and body.
• 'Simply using the same muscles as smiling will put you in a happier mood,' explains Dr Michael Lewis, psychologist at Cardiff University.

How to put a smile on your face

• Spend time with friends and family who are most likely to cheer you up.
• Take time out and watch a film or a TV show you find funny.
• Even when you don't feel like it, try and force yourself to smile – you may find that a forced smile becomes genuine.
• Reflect on happy memories by looking through photographs.
