I hadn't thought of that aspect of Botox! I was thinking negatively: it prevents people from smiling properly. But you're right, it works both ways. And I can always tell how deep-down, basically, low-serotonin depressed I am by that pair of pain lines between my eyes in the mirror! I'm an actor; maybe I should spend an hour in front of the mirror every day like old Coué or Stuart Smalley on SNL, who was "good enough, smart enough, and, doggone it, people LIKE me!" I can repeat my affirmations while practicing relaxing my brows and smiling with my lips and my purty blue eyes!
There's a group in town here called Laughter Yoga; I believe they just get together and LAUGH! Infectiously. It's probably a lot more fun than my Buddhist chanting, but don't tell any Buddhists you meet I said that ;-)
