Anxiety and depression are best suppressed by swimming and running. These aerobic exercises promote a good mood because they lead to the release of the happy hormone endorphins, experts point out.
If these exercises are hard for someone, they can walk. Being outdoors, especially if there is sunshine, encourages cheerfulness and has a positive effect on our mental state.
Yoga also calms tension and balances hormones.
If you are too lazy to do any of the above, you can improve your mood by watching a cartoon, listening to good music or hanging out with funny and cheerful people.
Playing with a dog, talking with a parrot or another pet can also be stimulating and brighten your day, reports Novosti.
