Your daily dose of serotonin in the shape of little, warm puppies.

There's nothing that I love more than little puppies. My heart beats for them, and it's impossible for me not to crawl down when I see one on the street. They are the best thing ever, and they can totally shift my mood if I'm having a bad day. No matter how sad or angry I am, a little puppy is what I need to feel better.

I know that nowadays we live crazy lives: there's too much to get done, with little to no time to complete these long to-do lists. We have jobs, house chores, family, partners… the things we need to be involved in are endless, so it's easy to get wrapped up in your head and to feel overwhelmed. That's why I always like to have an anchor: something that pulls me back to Earth and puts me back on my feet.

For me, it's always something related to animals. Or anything that has to do with nature, really.

I don't have an explanation as to why this is helpful, but being connected to the earth and feeling in tune with nature is always the best way to get off your head and to reconnect with the present moment. It's always important to remember that the only thing we have is the present moment, and there's nothing else that matters.

Life doesn't care if tomorrow you have an important meeting or if there's traffic. Enjoy the present and find beauty in it, and right there, you'll find your happiness. Puppies are just like that if you think about it. They are always happy, always excited to discover something new, and we should try to be more like that.

Yes, we are humans, and I know we cannot just quit everything to live in the present moment. But why don't we just try? Let's try and see how we feel and what we find… there's nothing we have to lose. Before jumping into puppy mode, let's get inspired by looking at some puppy pictures.
