How Happy Pictures on Fridge Helps With Weight Loss
Surrounding yourself with happy photos, memorabilia, and cartoons encourages a positive mood, which allows you to step back emotionally and understand the big picture. Researchers Aparna A. Labroo from the University of Chicago and Vanessa M. Patrick from the University of Georgia write, “A positive mood enhances efforts to attain future well-being, encourages broader and flexible thinking, and increases openness to thinking.”
When it comes to eating and weight loss, feeling good can motivate you to make healthier food choices (apples and low-fat cheddar instead of brownies and ice cream!). So if you’re serious about a healthy lifestyle and weight loss, decorate your kitchen with things that make you smile.
This research was published in the November, 2008 issue of Journal of Consumer Research.
