UP WITH THE MOOD, UP WITH THE MEMORY

People with better moods and more positive attitudes have healthier and less inflamed brains. Engage in at least one social activity every day to maintain a good mood and a positive outlook. A healthy brain is a happy brain.

Activities to do on your own

In your space

o1

Choose a playlist of songs that bring back beautiful and good memories, and then listen to them. You can write down the lovely memories they evoke.

Write a list of things and purposes you would like to do in your life and that you have not done yet. Do not be afraid to dream. Then share it with someone and have a good time.

o4

Get up every day and look for a purpose for the day. Set a goal you can achieve. At the end of the day, think about whether you were able to achieve it or not. If not, write it down for the next day.

If you feel low or lonely, talk to someone you trust or seek help from a doctor or health professional. Don’t be afraid or ashamed—everyone has felt this way at some point in life.
