Daily Fit 4/3/19: This Color Makes You Happiest

Wellness Tip Of The Day: Surround yourself with the color green to improve your mental health.​

What Science Says: Growing research suggests that just about any kind of green space can make you happier and boost your mental health. The quality of the green space matters more than the quantity — think broadleaf woods and parks that feature water and areas with significant biodiversity rather than a simple patch of grass or a single tree you pass on your way to work in the morning. Also, the more accessible and usable it is for the type of activities you enjoy, the better.

How To Do It: First, identify the ways in which you want to use green space and the things you hope to get out of it. If you’re looking for a quiet, meditative space after a hectic day, creating an indoor garden in a well-lit section of your home could be exactly what you need. If you’re searching for a new, challenging running route, try out your local greenway for a change of scenery that keeps you motivated. And if you want to improve your early-morning mood, swap out your bedding for an emerald duvet, add a splash of green to your curtains and set up some additional air-purifying plants near your windows. Bring on the green! [TIME Health]
