An English University study finds that taking and sharing a daily photo improves a person's well being

I read about this study on 365 yesterday, I can't remember who talked about it though. I googled it and this article came up. It validates what we all know to be true, sharing our photos and daily lives does contribute to our well being! I thought everyone would like to read the article:

Thanks Lou Ann for sharing an article that is not really news to those of us who are on 365! It's nice to have our positions validated this way however. Also a big thank you to Dr. @scrivna!

[Lou Ann]

@grammyn Thank you, Katy, and yes, a huge thank you to Dr. @scrivna, for his vision for this wonderful community!

It was Pat @happypat who posted it. I googled it too but didn’t think to post it here. Well done! ( I did wonder if it also applied to taking more than one photo a day!)

@quietpurplehaze Thank you Hazel and thank you @happypat! Well I just thought it was really wonderful and I was so glad to see it.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Isn’t that the truth?!

[Pat Knowles]

Yes it was me, I was fascinated to read this & of course every word true! So glad you got to read the full article too. Thanks @louannwarren for posting, I never thought to. They did all but fully name the 365 progect.

[Lou Ann]

@happypat I’m so glad you saw it and talked about it, nice validation for what we all already know!

[Pat Knowles]

@louannwarren indeed Lou Ann.

@louannwarren here here, I totally agree, thanks for sharing :)

[Lou Ann]

@deeganp thank you!

[Debbie]

Ah so that's why I find it difficult to stay away from 365 for long. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing Lou Ann.

I'm a dark thinker however. Stories like this always raise a few questions not answered for by the scientists in question. I name it half a research in favor of the outcome. Ask the right questions and you will always get what you want.

How many struggled te get their picture online every day? How many were disappointed when saw their photo's weren't as good as everyone else's photos? Or by number of followers or comments? How many stopped before the end of the research? To name a few...

Don't get me wrong. I'm happy for your well-being! I just cannot blindly accept this new fact.

Yes,I read this too.Very True

@mastermek I do agree that any study is never complete, there are always unanswered questions. I’m guessing, but I imagine these researchers chose to dwell more on the positive results of this project.

@deborah63 @carolmw thank you for your comments!

I think I should print this article out and have my family and friends read it! Thanks for posting it!

Thanks Lou Ann for sharing. I guess that's why so many people are on 365 way past their one year they want to try to achieve! It becomes addictive and opens up the world to create new friendships and fun :)
