Heya awesome Mindfulness people! I hope your day has been going well for you so far :)

Pets and animals have been proven to help us feel more relaxed and make our mental health better. Just a few minutes of petting a dog or stroking a cat or watching fish swim around in a tank tremendously help in lowering stress levels. Even just watching puppies run around and play can help!

How does your pet help you be more mindful and affect your mental health? If you don't have any pets, how do animals help you be more mindful and affect your mental health?

@Goldcherry2113 A cat named Bear after a bear? Awww. smiley I used to have a cat named Blossom after a flower....problem was that my cat was a HE not a she and it was too late to change it. cheeky He passed away a few years ago, though. sad

I have an eight year old pup who is my anchor, even though he is grumpy and moody, when I see him, I can focus on him and making sure he is having a good life. I also have an a*****e cat, who is only a year and a half old. Very different energy levels - but they know me, I love them and they love me. They read my energy and mood and I get comfort from that. Going to bed at night with both of them beside me really lets me focus on sleep and myself, helping me prepare for the following day, especially during stressful times.

@LexIris I have an African Grey Parrot. He randomly says "Hi buddy" or "you up" and it is like a wake up call. It breaks the silence in the house and makes me feel like I am in conversation when I reply. But so far have not been able to discuss heavy topics with the bird lol.
