Here’s 5 things you can do right now for some self care to boost your mood:⁣

  1. 🌅 Walk outside. Get some fresh air. Clear your mind.⁣
  2. 🎶 Listen to some fun, upbeat music. Have a dance party in your living room. And dance like you just don’t care.⁣
  3. ☎️ Call 2 people today. People you’re thinking about. People you miss.⁣
