Scientists have pinpointed more than 50 different types of smiles, and research suggests that the sincerest smile of all is the Duchenne smile a smile that pushes up into the eyes. The reason it's more genuine is because the muscles needed to truly smile with our eyes are involuntary; they only become engaged in an authentic smile, not in a courtesy smile. Every time you smile because something makes you happy or you find it funny, every time your smile expresses how you really feel, your eyes will smile along with your lips. They'll crinkle at the corners so that your whole face looks fully engaged in the smile. Look at pictures of yourself that were taken when you were laughing, or work yourself into a belly laugh by watching something funny and then take a selfie. Make sure you're really feeling happy when the picture is snapped. Now compare the picture of you smiling with happiness to a picture of yourself giving the type of fake, jack o' lantern-esque smile you've probably flashed for a dozen school pictures. See the difference in the eyes? Do you feel that you've mastered the classic Duchenne? Try it without your lips. Those who are truly skilled at smiling with their eyes can express happiness or mirth without moving their mouth. That's not to say your mouth should be frowning, but try holding it still while you smile with your eyes. This type of smile is good to use when you want to express playful mystery. It's for when you don't want to give away too much by breaking into a wide grin; you simply want to project that you're satisfied with the situation. You could also smile without using your mouth when you need to hold a pleasant expression on your face for a long time. Let's say you're in a long board meeting and you want to look like you're having a decent time without looking fake. Smiling with your eyes will make you seem approachable and positive.

There are ways you can reduce government's interference in your checkbook at tax time! Contribute money to a 401K account or IRA. Don't pay off your student loans. You will be able to deduct the student loan interest. Buy a house, contribute to charity, take college classes, save your receipts, and have your taxes done by a professional who knows tax laws better than you do. In the most simplistic sense, living off the grid can mean not connecting into government provided electricity. Survive on your own. Solar energy or your own generator can provide power instead. Try not to use light at night. Perhaps use candles. Make your own food by gardening. Settle on land that offers available water so you don't need to depend on government for water. In urban areas especially, surveillance cameras and police devices are able to track your movements through your vehicle's license plate. Get rid of the GPS device in your car. Instead, walk or ride a bicycle when you can. In addition, avoid toll roads, toll bridges and HOV lanes because they are monitored with surveillance cameras. Take a cab and pay cash. Rental car information can be tracked. Avoid parking in garages and lots with surveillance cameras and, if you use public transit, buy the ticket from the machine instead of using a new card payment system. Avoid driving on interstate highways. Don't take the same exact route every time you go to the store or to work. Mix up your routine. Don't get deliveries to your home because that will create a record. Use maps instead of GPS. Buy a shredder to shred all paper documents when you are done with them. Get a post office box so that purchases can't be traced back to your home. This will make it harder for the government to trace you, not just data mining sites. Ordering streaming videos from a service like Netflix can put you on the grid. Instead, order DVDs. Get a game console with single player games so you don't need Internet. Don't order books from the library with a library card as these can also be traced. If you really want to disappear, get rid of all trophies and old personal items. . Earn so little as to be exempt from paying taxes (and consider freeganism to survive). Squat for somewhere to live. Alternatively, Live in the Wilderness or Survive in the Woods. Make sure you are paid in cash, or cryptocurrency like bitcoin. Settle in a mid-sized city in a place that is not overly cold. Bigger cities have too many cameras and smaller towns won't let you disappear enough.

Panic attacks start in the central nervous system, which controls everything from your breathing and heartbeat to your perspiration and respiration. When your brain senses danger, it sends signals to the body through the cerebral cortex to mobilize a response. This happens automatically with the release of chemicals like adrenaline. The heart beats faster. Your breathing becomes rapid. You start to sweat. This "fight or flight" response is not always accurate, though. Learn more about anxiety, panic disorder, and the fight or flight response in books, articles, or online. You will discover that what you feel during a panic attack is very real and that you are not simply imagining things. Some therapists advocate "accepting" a panic attack. Your fight or flight mechanism is powerful but not always right, and you are almost certainly in no real danger during an attack. Try to keep calm and assured if you feel an attack approaching. Don't give in to your fear. In fact, "phobic" or negative thoughts i.e. "I'm going to die" or "I'm going crazy" can not only overwhelm you but exacerbate the attack. Consciously force yourself to recognize that there is no threat to you. Hold this in your mind and repeat it for several minutes. You may try to avoid situations that make you anxious. This is natural, but not helpful. Evasion can actually exacerbate your fears. Learn to control your breathing. Draw slow, regular breaths through your nose and exhale out through puckered lips, inhaling to the count of five, holding for five seconds, and then exhaling to the count of five. This deep breathing can help to relieve symptoms of panic, especially hyperventilation, which causes giddiness and lightheadedness. Another effective strategy is progressive muscle relaxation. To do this, tense and release various muscles working your way from your head to your toes. Tighten each muscle while breathing in, hold for several seconds, and then release. This relaxation technique should reduce your tension and overall stress level. Practicing yoga or meditation every day are also good ways to reduce your stress and tension. Take care to avoid things that increase your overall levels of stress, anxiety, and tension. Avoid caffeine and other stimulants, for example, like coffee, caffeinated tea, sodas, and cigarettes. These can provoke panic attacks in susceptible persons. Likewise, try have some fun every day and to get adequate sleep each night. Making lifestyle changes is important. According to a recent study, a regimen of at least three workouts per week can curb panic attacks and related symptoms. Although the exact mechanism is not clear, physical activity increases heart-rate variability and has a positive impact on the brain and on mood. Try some form of vigorous aerobic exercise like jogging, riding a bike, swimming, or playing a sport. Go for a walk. Do something active.
