Hi {{ first_name | }}
How is your day going so far? I was just sitting at my desk this morning, trying to #BeProductive, and, ugh, nothing was productiv-ing for me.
I was chewing on a granola bar that tasted like cardboard, when I realized that it wasn't just the granola bar that was boring and bland.
It was me. I was feeling pretty meh, in general today.
No wonder I couldn’t seem to get anything done. It was like my productivity was taken in this weeks “Rapture” trend, and I was left behind to struggle.
So I did what I always do when my mood needs an elevation.
I closed my laptop and ran through my list of '60 second mood boosters' and just 5 minutes later, I was back to feeling like my self gain.
Want to know what I did?
Here's the 5, 60-second things I did to boost my mood. Give it a try!
5 | 60 second fixes for an instant mood improvement
1. Face in the sun. Stand by a window, set a 60 second timer, close your eyes. Warm eyelids, instant upgrade. If there is no sun, use the brightest lamp you own and pretend you’re in Santorini.
2. Cold wrists, warm brain. Run cold water over your wrists for 20 seconds. Feels dramatic in the moment, calms the system fast.
3. The 5 count playlist. Pick a song you love, breathe in for 5 beats, out for 5 beats, repeat for the chorus.
5. Five red things. Name five red objects in the room. Candle, book spine, mug, pen, the sweater I forgot to fold. Your brain cannot spiral and scavenger hunt at the same time. Creating lists always helps. There’s some great tips here about creating lists to organize your life.
6. Picked a day to chat with my virtual councellor. Checking in with an online therapist is always a good mood-booster.
In case you haven’t looked into online counselling before, it’s awesome. No trips into town to sit in a waiting room, again. Just valuable counseling with licensed pros, via your phone (call, text or video - up to you).
Here is why online counselling is such a good mood hack.
Zero commute. Therapy pants can be sweatpants.
Flexible slots. Lunch break, early morning, after bedtime.
Better matches. More specialists to choose from, so you find someone who gets your exact flavor of stuck.
Lower first step. If phone calls spike your heart rate (like mine), start with chat or video when you are ready.
Home-field comfort. Your couch, your tea, your dog snoring. Brains relax, words show up.
Consistent support. Keep the same counselor when you travel or move. Continuity is gold.
Clear costs. You can compare options and pick what fits your budget before you book.
Real results. Structured goals, measured wins, gentle accountability. Less spiraling, more steady.
Important to know: You do not need a crisis to talk to a therapist! Support is for maintenance, too.
