Daily Happy Episode 14: Emotional Toolbox
Ever feel like life is a bit... wobbly? Like you’re one IKEA screw away from losing it? Good news: You don’t need a wrench—you need a well-stocked emotional toolbox.
On the latest episode of The Daily Happy, we unpack research from Professor Ariana Orvell at Bryn Mawr College (via the journal Emotion) and explore how people managed anxiety during peak-pandemic chaos.
Turns out, most of us are low-key emotional MacGyvers, using 3–4 strategies a day. The most popular tool? Talking to other people (your mom, your work BFF, or your cat all count).
Other fan favorites:
✅ Reframing your situation (this too shall pass… eventually)
✅ Going outside (not revolutionary, but it works)
✅ Exercise (for the brave)
✅ Talking to yourself in the third person (yes, Suzanna approves)
Key takeaway: You don’t need one perfect fix. You need variety. Think of it like cross-training... for your feelings.
Today’s happiness challenge:
Audit your emotional toolbox. Add one tool. Whether it's texting a friend, stretching, or giving yourself a pep talk (yes, out loud).
If you're ready to build a happier mindset, one tiny habit at a time, follow The Daily Happy on Spotify. Your sanity will thank you. And let's have a bright and happy day!
Start your day in a bright and happy way!
