1 Minute Habit for June 13

Encourages intentional use of color in your environment for mood support.

💬 Your Success Stories

I wrote down dusty sage green as my calming color—it reminds me of hiking in the mountains back home. Now I use that color in my phone background and even bought a hoodie in that shade. I didn’t realize how much it helps me feel steady until I started noticing how my body softens every time I see it.
