We all need a dose of fun in our lives. What's the point of it all if we're not going to laugh? Pawsitivity is something that carries us throughout everything we do. It's a mood, a mindset. Without a dash of positivity, then everything will feel like the weight of the world. When you're in a positive state of mind, then a scraped knee, a papercut, or bad news can turn itself into something meaningful, beautiful, or opportunistic.

Health is something important to maintain as well. Without our physical, mental, and emotional health, it can be extra difficult to be in a positive mood. Health is so tied to our emotions, and keeping a healthy heart is something that can sometimes go beyond our notions of what healthy means. When we're tethered to people who make us miserable, then it's going to affect our health in some way, whether we like it or not. Being heart healthy doesn't just apply to love – it's a combination of how we treat ourselves in our diet, exercise, lifestyle habits, and sleep. To keep a healthy heart, it's important to consume foods rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and legumes. Limiting sodium, added sugars, and saturated fats can help immensely.

When it comes to physical activity, it's important to move around. Walking, running, or even cleaning the house can all amount to significant changes in your health, if that's what you're looking for. And for sleep? Well, sometimes it feels like we live in the age of sleeplessness. It's never been easier to be sleepy, but simultaneously stay up late consistently while being in the comfort of our own bed. Scrolling has an addictive, dopamine system in our brains, which means we can binge scroll, but still be exhausted and on the verge of collapse.

Cat memes are a part of that system of dopamine hitting, obsession starting habits that just make us smile and stay up all night. It's important to take everything with a grain of salt, and to understand that even if cat memes give you a healthy mindset, a dose of pawsitivity, and a sense of purpose, to still try and get your 8 hours of sleep.
