I have been biting down on my pen for about 10 minutes, and it feels pretty good. The other day, I read in Malcolm Gladwell's book, Blink, that in an psychological experiment that looked at how facial muscles affect your mood, by using certain muscles on your face, it can change your mood.
In the experiment, there were two groups of people. One group had to bite down on pens, and the other group didn't. Both groups were sent to watch a comedy, and the group that bit down on the pens found the comedy funnier and laughed louder.
When you use your cheek muscles, it automatically makes you happy because of some scientific reason I can't explain...
So if you ever feel sad, or you're having a bad day, you know what to do now.
