mood boost
Emotional pick-me-up
A mood boost is something that improves your emotional state, lifting spirits or increasing happiness.
The phrase treats mood as something that can be elevated like a signal: I needed a mood boost after that meeting, Coffee is my morning mood boost.
Often used for small pleasures—music, exercise, chocolate—rather than lasting change.
