Tell us: what gives your mood a boost?

With freedoms restricted and a number of life’s most enjoyable pastimes curtailed, many of us have found new ways to give our mood a boost over the last year. Some people have turned to outdoor exercise and home-cooking in order to lift their spirits, but they are not the only options.

Perhaps you’ve discovered the pleasures of a long, hot, undisturbed soak in the bath? Or maybe you’ve taken to listening to music at full blast and dancing around your living room? Whether you advocate forest-bathing or chocolate-eating, we want to hear about the things you’ve found to be reliable mood-boosters, especially during the pandemic.
