Photo-printing specialist CEWE has carried out a survey to mark World Wellbeing Week<\/a> from June 21 to 30, and it reveals that looking back at photos has a more positive effect on mental wellbeing than exercise or meditating.<\/p>\n

The survey spoke to 2000 CEWE customers across the UK; taking a bath ranked first (34%), followed by looking at photos (32%), exercise (25%), listening to podcasts (9%) and meditating (8%).<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the survey highlighted the range of positive emotions looking back on photos can have. Participants said it makes them feel nostalgic (65%), happy (56%), relaxed (31%), and inspired (14%)<\/p>\n\"\"\n

\u201cPhotos have a magical quality that allows us to be transported back to our happiest memories,\u201d said CEWE\u2019s Claire Moreton.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis instant feeling of positivity that we get from reminiscing impacts our wellbeing in such a beneficial way. It also helps us feel closer to loved ones and reminds us of those precious moments that we hold so close.\u201d The company recommends making a photo book, creating a gallery wall using bigger prints and, of, course, keeping photos on your desk to boost the feel-good factor.<\/p>\n\t\t
