Each day passes by differently, and certain situations can lead from one outcome to another. As such, it’s up to us to learn how to deal with certain types of emotions, whether they be good or bad. Even if it’s normal to feel different emotions every day, it is still important to our holistic health to learn how to manage them and keep them at bay.
One way to manage your emotions is by doing fun activities that can lighten your mood. Think of your favorite hobbies, the places you have the most fun going, and the people you love spending the most time with.
Spreading light, love, and positivity to your mindset every day will help you become more productive as the days pass. An example of this is shared by Harvard Business Review where they shared a research article published in the Journal of Applied Behavioral Science. The authors found that a workplace characterized by positive and virtuous practices excels in a number of domains.
We feel better about ourselves and our relationships when we engage in pleasurable activities that connect us to other people and places. Here are some activities our mental health services encourage you to try.
- Outdoor activities, such as mountain climbing, camping, picnic, riding a bike, or walks
- Baking and cooking
- Watching a movie
- Collecting different items, such as stamps, coins, or bottle caps
