Day 4 — Snap a Mood Booster

If you’ve ever noticed how good you feel after taking a walk outside, there’s a reason. Research shows that daily exercise can help improve a wide range of mental health concerns, including depression and anxiety. And, in a study on mood and images, participants reported feeling less stressed after viewing calm images from nature.  

If you combine exercise with nature imagery, you have the recipe for a mental mood boost!  

Your Action for Tonight 
Before your next exercise session, write down what kind of mood you're in. Then, take a walk outside on your favorite route. Find a spot that brings you a happy, peaceful feeling and take a quick picture. 

Bonus Action: Save your photo somewhere you’ll see it the next time you need a pick-me-up.
