Medical Video: YOU ARE NOT DEPRESSED, STOP IT!
"It's not in the mood, right?" Often, right, listen to this phrase? When someone is in a bad mood, he will avoid the surrounding environment. But is it true that this method can actually make things better?
Mood is often interpreted as bad mood, when in fact the mood is a temporary emotional state - both positive and negative emotions. That's why someone whose mood changes is called moody. Here are a few things about mood you need to know
1. Mood is contagious
Fact. Without realizing it, your mood can be influenced by people around you. Studies have found that everyone has an unconscious tendency to imitate other people's emotional expressions. Facial mimics like a smile or other trigger a reaction in the brain that makes you interpret the expression as your own feelings.
2. Increasing age, tend to often have a bad mood
Myth. If there is someone who thinks that someone's age is making you more often feel bad mood, this assumption is not right. Because, it could be that the person's mood is influenced by factors other than age. Studies have found that increasing age does not make the mood deteriorate, and vice versa. When a person gets older, the part in the brain that is associated with emotions will focus more on positive things compared to negative things.
3. Mood can be influenced by the weather
Fact. Many studies have found that weather can affect mood You. Sunlight has a connection in a good mood. For example in spring,moodmany people are better than winter when there is rarely sunlight.
4. Listening to music improves the mood
Listening to music that is fun or you like it can indeed make your mood improve. However, a study found that listening to songs can actually make your mood deteriorate.
5. Interacting with strangers affects mood
Yes. When bad mood, there is one unexpected way that can make you happy again. That is interacting with strangers. The Columbia University study found that brief interactions with strangers can improve the mood. Interacting with strangers "forces" you to look happy and that can affect the quality of your mood.
6. Sports can improve mood
Fact. Exercise will trigger your brain to create new cells in the brain, increase blood flow to the brain, and increase the hormone dopamine and serotonin - which play a role in increasing feelings of happiness and anti-depressants.
7. Stop smoking mood You are improving
Quitting smoking is not easy. Only, studies at Brown University found that quitting smoking can improve mood. Quitting smoking can also make someone happier, especially when he actually managed to quit smoking.
8. Dark chocolate improves the mood
No wonder many people choose to eat chocolate when they're sad. Because of the fact, chocolate, especially dark chocolate can stimulate the brain to produce endorphins and serotonin hormones - hormones that play a role in increasing feelings of happiness and anti-depressants.
