Need a pick me up? Surround yourself with photos!

Sending someone off to college or just feeling a little blah? Gazing at a happy moment from the past can improve our present outlook.

 If you reflect on good memories, like an amazing vacation with your family, you might actually be able to experience the same sensation you felt in that moment. Research also shows that people with stronger relationships to friends and family live longer, bounce back from illness easier and have a better quality of life.  Surrounding yourself with pictures of your loved ones can remind you of this bond and make you feel more upbeat and optimistic about the future.

So decorate your space AND your student's space with photos. You will all feel happier in the memories!
