Needing a mid-week break? Make it a walk in the park!

A new study from Stanford University says it reduces people’s tendency to dwell on negative events. How do they know?
They had people walk in a grassy, tree-filled park and then conducted brain scans – and saw that they showed less activity in the brain areas associated with overthinking and self-criticism.

So the next time you can’t shake the mistake you made at work – or a down mood – go find a park and you’ll feel a lot better.
