This is what happens when the animal kingdom discovers espresso…

Little things out there recharge my battery as well as animal memes do. I'm not sure what it is about them, but when I'm going through my fourth cup of coffee of the day and I know that I can't take another one, I look for animal memes because they make me laugh, and that's the same as coffee… almost… and even healthier! Their effect relies on being funny and distracting me for a second. Yes, I know I have things to do, but even on those crazy, hectic days, I always need a little funny, laughable break to charge my social and inner battery, so I can move on with the rest of my day.

Come on… You know exactly what I'm talking about!

We have big schedules and tight agendas, and for some reason, every day feels shorter than the one before. Sometimes, we feel like we need an extra hour in the day so we can get done everything we have on our to-do list! And this is an exhausting way to live our lives. I sometimes feel sad when I think that there's no way out of it… that is the reality that I was born into, and that I'll have to endure it for my whole existence because there isn't another way… But I usually try to snap myself out of this since it's very disappointing and not helpful at all.

Because Mother Nature knows best… we have animals right next to us. If you have a pet (lucky you…), then you'll know what I mean when I say that animals don't need caffeine and don't have those crazy anxiety rushes that keep them going. They have the zoomies, yes, which are adorable, but it's not the same thing. Every time I'm feeling down because my head can't stop spiraling, I go to nature and appreciate animals and where they find their energy to complete their days… and it's helpful, and I learn a lot about them and how they choose to feel. Although this won't relax my agenda, it's useful to calm my nerves and my head… try it for yourself and let me know!
