When psychologists recently tested three well-known techniques believed to boost mood, one really stood out.
It helps change people's emotions by helping them feel "among" others, rather than apart from them, said Douglas Gentile, a psychology professor at Iowa State University. When students tried it for just 12 minutes, they reported lower anxiety, greater happiness, more empathy and higher feelings of caring and connectedness.
It's even endorsed by "Silicon Valley's Zen master," who says it's the best thing he can do to immediately improve his mood. Follow the link to see what this healthy practice is and how you can incorporate it into your life. |
