What’s a lap good for if a dog can’t use it as a bed? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Studies show that spending time with a friendly pet lowers cortisol levels, reduces your heart rate, relaxes muscle tension, and lowers blood pressure. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve talked about this before - when you’re feeling unloved, don’t try to chase down every chance of finding that love in someone else. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Expressing love to others reminds you that you deserve it and can experience it without feeling like your chance at love rests - and leaves - with another person. . . . . #selflove #love #findinglove #findingloveeverywhere #seekinghelp #helpseeking #advice #relationships #selfcare #selfhelp #selfhelpquotes #lovequotes #personalgrowthjourney #dogs #yorkiesofinstagram #unloved #unlovedquotes #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #betigrewup https://www.instagram.com/p/B7RMuxUA_jP/?igshid=ko8p36cjnpzp
