You know best
We all have days when we’re not at our best. Maybe you got out of the wrong side of the bed – or maybe you couldn’t face getting out of it at all. New research suggests the best way to feel better is to lean into skills that you know you’ll succeed at. The study, from Ohio State University, found that people who were in a sad mood improved more quickly when they used a mood-improving method that they were told was their strongest skill, as opposed to those who used a skill that they were told was a relative weakness.
