Of all the things people do to improve attitude, running has been shown to be the best. Attitude research on people doing a wide range of sports, hobbies, art, and other lifestyle activities have shown that runners have the highest levels of the positive factors, and the lowest levels of the low (depression) factors. After almost every run, you will come away with a better attitude if you pace yourself conservatively, and don’t go too far. When in doubt, go slower at the beginning and take more walk breaks.
