Mood Check

Sometimes, we find ourselves stuck in a uncomfortable mood that leaves us feeling awful. That mood may leave us going around in circles, feeling as though we can barely tread water, when in reality we're simply exausted from swimming.

This page serves as a collection of insights to help you shift your mood, being mindful of what you've managed to do before.

What's your current mood?

Okay

You're not just okay; you're doing great.

  • Think about what you're grateful for
  • Let yourself get distracted
  • Continue to keep caring for yourself
Stressed

Don't let perfectionism ruin your work; it's already good enough as is.

  • Take a deep breath
  • Give yourself a break
  • Worry about creating for its own sake
Stagnating

Chances are you're further ahead than you believe.

  • Make a list of what you want to do
  • Treat yourself whenever you finish something
  • Be careful about saying want, should, or must
Horrible

What feels like a bolder to you might be a pebble to them.

  • Write down whatever comes to mind
  • Don't be afraid to follow-up
  • Forgive yourself, learn from the experience, and move on

Don't forget: However you're feeling is perfectly acceptable, even if it may feel uncomfortable.
