We have anxiously been waiting for the arrival of baby kittens at our house! The momma kitty, Molly, has been growing and growing, and she looks like she's ready to pop!
Each one of us wants to get our hands on them, and Stockton exclaimed in a bit of a fit one day, "I just want Molly to have her kitties! They make me happy!"
I am not typically a fan of relying on outside resources for happiness; however, there is something to this. Pets can help decrease our stress and anxiety levels, increase our feelings of peace, comfort, and satisfaction, and provide a sense of purpose and meaning, which also contributes to overall happiness.
In today's podcast, we talk about pets and the impact they have on our nervous systems, bodies, and brains. How even a brief interaction can shift our feelings and thinking!
We also talk about them giving us a sense of purpose by providing something to care for, look after, feed, and love.
Our Heavenly Father has given us so many amazing creations for our benefit. Nature, animals, and so much more! How often do we forget to take advantage of these creations, enjoy them, and experience the happiness that can come so naturally!
Listen in to this podcast to hear more about the impact pets can have!
