1. Music: Create playlists with uplifting songs. Music can evoke strong emotions and significantly boost your mood. Try this mood boosting playlist Sarah created specifically for Studio 5.
2. Celebrate Accomplishments: Recognize and celebrate even small achievements. This practice can boost your momentum and energy.
