Some people destress with a warm bath, some with a evening out, and some by scrolling doggo memes. 

No matter what our lives look like, we do get stressed. Riddled with constant responsibilities, personal things, work, emails, errands, children, relationships, hobbies, or the endless global awareness of every other countries issues or injustices, it's easy to be enmeshed with your own stress. Sometimes it can feel like we're running on stress alone. We may have a slight velleity to destress or detach from the constant noise, but it's not that easy. But that's where dog memes come in. Dog memes aren't just relaxing, they're innocent and wholesome enough that we can let go of the worldly news and state of the economy for a few moments. We can take a step back from our day to day exhaustion and appreciate something adorable, something that doesn't have to worry about money, or injustices, or their own lives. It's something pure, something that can simply make you smile. 

Dog memes are simple because the dogs themselves are. It's not in a way that is empty or meaningless either. The simplicity of dogs is something beautiful, something to be appreciated. There's no better way to detach, destress, and enjoy the moment than with dog memes for dog pawrents overloaded with life.

  • Dogs have a way of easing stress without us even realizing it. We may not even know we have a quiet velleity to calm our nervous systems, but our dogs give us what we don't know we need. It's their ability to bring you into the present, to be in the moment. Their aura calms us just by being there and giving us that smile and tail wag. They shift the atmosphere when they're just happy to see you. It's a serotonin flood when our bodies can relax and feel comfortable and safe for the first time that day. It's uncomplicated and genuine, and stops your mind from overthinking and worrying about all there is to worry about. It's not always easy to shut our brains off, but when we do it can be the most relaxing, destressing thing.
