Mental Health

Joy is a feeling you can cultivate and amplify. Today, Joy Ofodu guides you through an exercise to help you tap into “appreciative joy” on the days you need an extra boost.

Appreciate Your Joy

If you’ve ever worried “Is everyone mad at me?” you’re not alone. Especially when we’re connecting digitally: It’s hard to read body language and feel assured that all is well. Today, show compassion to your social anxiety with Joy Ofodu.

Greet Social Anxiety With Compassion

You have everything you need in your breath. Use it to calm yourself in moments of stress or energize yourself to focus better. Practice with today's meditation.

Quiet Your Mind

It’s easy to feel like a human *doing,* but you’re more than your productivity. You are beautifully complex—and all the pieces you’re made of can help you feel fulfilled today. Today, join Joy Ofodu for a visualization practice to honor your whole self.

Honor Your Complexity

When life gets stressful, it can be hard to prioritize our wellbeing. Today, Joy Ofodu leads us through an affirmation journaling exercise to remind us that self-care isn't selfish. Grab that journal!
