Which of the following helps to improve negative emotions and reduce the occurrence of depression? Participating in outdoor activities or avoiding negative emotions? This is the latest question of the Ant Farm Manor July 20, 2024, Manor Classroom Knowledge Q&A, and the answer is “Participating in outdoor activities”.
In the busy city life, we are often surrounded by tall buildings, troubled by busy work and trivial matters. However, when we choose to go outdoors, basking in the warm sunlight, it feels like we can feel the call of nature, that sense of tranquility and harmony can cleanse the dust of our hearts. Participating in more outdoor activities can not only exercise our bodies but also nourish our inner selves.
Sunlight is a gift of nature, carrying endless energy, silently nurturing all things. When we are exposed to the sunshine, the internal endocrine environment will be improved, negative emotions are seemingly dispersed by the warm sunlight, and the clouds of depression gradually disappear. At the same time, the ultraviolet rays in the sunlight can also promote the synthesis of vitamin D, further enhancing our body’s immunity.
Physical exercise is another effective way to improve the endocrine environment and reduce depression. During exercise, our bodies are exercised, brain cell activity is increased, and metabolic function is enhanced. These physiological changes lead to significant improvement in our mental state, making our mood pleasant and our spirits rejuvenated.
However, we cannot ignore the existence of negative emotions. They are like a mirror, reflecting the true state of our inner selves. When faced with negative emotions, instead of choosing to avoid them, we should learn to accept them and explore the reasons behind them. Only in this way can we better understand ourselves, find the root of the problem, and solve it. In the process of accepting and solving problems, our inner selves will become stronger and more mature.
