how to get rid of bad mood

当心情不好的时候，你都怎么做呢？今天小编带大家来学习一种简单而实用的方法。

It’s official ― you really can walk it off.

The simple decision to get up and take a stroll can significantly lift your mood even when you think it won’t, according to new research.

The study, published in the journal Emotion in August, showed that simply moving for approximately 12 minutes helped relieve negative emotions. Factors like good weather or a walking buddy weren’t even necessary for a walk to work it’s magic, the research found.

To figure this out, researchers asked more than 400 undergraduate students at Iowa State University to go on a walk in three different experiments that were designed to test volunteers’ moods and how walking affected them. In the first experiment, researchers just tested for the effect of a stroll, telling students to do nothing more than go for a walk around campus and report back.

In the second, the psychologists tested for environmental surroundings to see ifwhere they walked matters. Participants toured the inside of a drab campus building and were informed they’d have to write a paper after the walk. Despite the unexciting views and knowing a hard project awaited them, participants still felt more positive, self-assured and attentive after a walk, according to the study.
