Take a breath and relax under some shade.

Different ways of life affect us differently. Our nervous system is breathing in the air around us and responding to it. For anyone who knows rural life well, you understand how it slows your breath, it relaxes you in ways that you can't even control. You're not even aware of the mechanisms behind it, but when you're immersed in a barren life of nature, hard work, and rural atmospheres, you're just different. It's easier to find appreciation in the little things, it's easier to have quiet days, it's easier to find tenderness in the smile of an innocent sheep, or a cat curled up on a car. The little things in our daily lives do affect us. It works the opposite way too. If you're a city person, then you're used to the hustle and bustle that comes with city life. There are trains, planes, and other noises that keep us on our toes. Our nervous system's have a harder time to relax when every moment feels like you have to constantly look over your shoulder. When we have times like that, it's easier to just shut everything out. You have to develop thicker skin when you live in a city, one that isn't conducive to the warmth and relaxation of rural life. 

Whether it's the countryside, a farm, a small town, or something else, rural life makes us stop and ponder everything for a moment. There's something about it that really feels comforting, and we can all take a moment in our day to scroll rural animal memes and imagine we're there too. That we're on a farm surrounded by peaceful cows, or sheep. Or we're running through fields with doggos alongside us. Enjoy these cute rural animal memes, and go touch some grass.
