When even the littlest thing is setting you off...
Hold an audio intervention and Leave Anger Behind. Ever had a complete meltdown because you wanted chocolate ice cream but they only had strawberry and vanilla? (No, we wouldn’t know anything about that either.) You know you really shouldn’t sweat the small stuff, but some days your temper just seems to be stuck at boiling point. When it’s one of those days, tune in and cool off with Tahl.

When your co-workers are driving you up the wall...
Listen to Stress Release at Work with Sergio. While we definitely wouldn’t know anything about this (our co-workers are amazing, really truly, ahem), we’ve heard that sometimes workplace communications can become a little… frazzled. If you should find yourself in this situation, simply turn to Sergio’s soothing tones to breathe away the stress. You don’t even have to leave your desk.

If you feel like a failure...
Hit play on Rediscover Your Confidence. You may not have used the past year to bake sourdough, learn a language or write a novel, but Sergio still reckons you’re pretty great. Whenever you’re feeling insecure, put your headphones on for a quick confidence boost.

When you’re avoiding what you’re supposed to be doing...
Listen to Get Things Done. Congratulations, you are the reigning monarch of procrastination! You know that thing you’ve been putting off for weeks? Consider this a (caring and helpful) kick up the butt. In just 4 minutes, Sergio will help you find your missing motivation and get it done. Finally.

If you can’t stop doom-scrolling your social feed...
Make Tahl’s When It All Gets Too Much meditation your circuit breaker. The world can be A LOT sometimes. Tahl can help you hit pause on the non-stop news cycle, lower the volume and reconnect with your calm.

When you’re filled with more stress than the final episode of Survivor...
Listen to Dial It Down with Sergio. Stress can build up like a pressure cooker. Before the steam is literally coming out of your ears, dial it back by following Sergio’s voice to a place of cool and calm.

When you wake up in a rotten mood…
Turn that frown upside down with Alexz’s Good Morning Affirmations. There’s no rhyme or reason to it – sometimes you just wake up on the wrong side of the bed. Instead of letting that dark cloud linger, switch up your mindset and lock in a positive outlook for the day ahead.

When you feel like everything sucks...
Try A Positive Perspective with Tahl. Sometimes, things just suck. But you know what? If you really think about it, you can still find something to feel good about. Tap into the power of gratitude with Tahl to find a little perspective on your current sucky situation.

When you’ve had it up to here with this BLEEP...
Listen to Cool Your Anger with Michael. Before you say, do or text something you’ll regret later, call time out on your anger. Think of Michael as your coach, who with a quick pep talk will help you regulate and channel those feelings into something much more useful.

When you just need a freakin’ moment...
Stop and Breathe for Calm. You could make a dash for the bathroom and scream into the void. Or you could politely tell anyone in your vicinity that you just need to step away for a moment, then take a deep breath with Sergio to clear your mind and calm your body. Three minutes later, you’ll be back, and they’ll be none the wiser. Ahhh.
