May Mood Report
soft-launching summer. 🧺☀️🍓🌼
Your May Mood Report is here! With even more sunny days around the corner, we’re soaking up the last bits of spring. We’re talkin’ bike rides to the farmer’s market, stopping to smell the flowers and maybe even planting some of our own, dopamine dressing in mood-boosting colors and more.

Build A Spring Dopamine Menu
When your dopamine levels dip (AKA when you’re bored, overwhelmed, or procrastinating), you naturally reach for quick hits of stimulation (hi, scrolling). Instead of reaching for your phone for instant, yet short-lived gratification, a dopamine menu serves up a more intentional, longer-lasting alternative. It’s a personalized list of go-to ways to recharge—naturally engaging and rewarding things you can turn to whenever you need a mood lift, mental reset, or motivation (and that don’t involve your phone).
