The words you need right now

How to answerThink about how you're feeling today. For each question, choose the answer closest to how things feel right now. There are no wrong answers; go with your first instinct.

When you woke up this morning, your first thought was closest to…
"Just five more minutes." My body feels heavyThe room is so quiet that I feel a bit emptySo much to do today. Time to start rushing againAnother day much like the last, nothing to look forward to"Did I mess that thing up yesterday?"
If your mood right now were the weather, it would be…
Grey and flat, neither sunny nor rainyWindy, with clouds racing across the skyThick fog, and I can't see who's around meOvercast with a bit of light, though never quite bright enoughA muggy afternoon when all I want is to lie down
Right now, the thing you'd most like someone to say to you is…
"Thank you for all your hard work. I've noticed.""Come on, I'm taking you somewhere fun.""Let's call it a day. The rest can wait till tomorrow.""Don't worry, I'm right here.""No rush. I'll wait for you."
When you open today's to-do list, you feel…
Every item is nagging me, and I wish I could do them all at onceI don't even want to look. I'd rather put my phone face downI've ticked off a few, but I can only see the ones leftI'm carrying most of it alone and don't know who to ask for helpIt's all things I have to do, and none I actually want to
When you get home and close the door, you're most likely to…
Want to talk to someone, scroll through my contacts, then put the phone downGo over everything I didn't quite get right todayScroll my phone for ages without finding anything I want to watchSit down, rush nothing and slowly drink a glass of waterCollapse straight onto the bed without even getting changed
Lately, your body keeps reminding you that…
My eyes ache, my back aches and I nod off the moment I sit downNothing exactly hurts, but everything feels a bit mutedWhen someone pats my shoulder, I suddenly feel close to tearsI eat fast, walk fast and always seem to be in a hurryMy shoulders stay tense, as if I'm waiting to be checked on
If you could get one small gift today, you'd hope for…
A little card listing all the effort you've put in latelyA walk with no clock to watch, as slow as you likeA morning when you can sleep until you wake up naturallyA sweet ice cream, or a small bunch of flowers from a street stallA call from an old friend you haven't heard from in ages
Before today ends, what you'd most like is to…
Have one thing make me laugh for realHave a few words with someone I care aboutTell myself, "I worked hard today too"Get to bed early and catch up on the sleep I've been missingStop racing the clock and finish the day at my own pace
