Soothe aches & pains with a Christmas tree
Putting up a live Christmas tree or burning a sugar cookie-scented candle are perfect ways to fill your home with a wonderful holiday aroma. The best part: A new German study found doing so also dials down knee pain, eases headaches and dashes other discomforts. Researchers say pleasant scents (whichever you find most comforting) activate areas of the brain that noticeably reduce your perception of pain.
OR MAKE A FESTIVE PLAYLIST!
Selecting beloved holiday songs to enjoy while trimming the tree or wrapping presents does more than just put you in a cheerful mood-it also quickly quashes aches and pains. According to a new British study published in the journal PLOS ONE, the simple act of picking out tunes gives you a sense of control, which rapidly decreases pain sensations.
Dressing up lifts your mood!
Have certain dresses, shoes or earrings you wear this time of year because you enjoy how festive they make you look? They're also an easy way to put a smile on your face! Research reveals wearing your favorite clothing prompts a surge in the happiness purring brain chemical dopamine. And it's so effective at boosting your mood, experts have dubbed the phenomenon "dopamine dressing."
