Time to relax!

  • “Yes, sharing that moment through your lens is great, but if you don’t enjoy it you can’t expect others to. Sometimes we forget to put ourselves first.” – Should Photography Be Relaxing?
  • “Wells placed a camera underwater at the bottom of a bucket and filmed the animals as they came to take a sip.

In case you’re concerned, Wells rescued the floating bees seen at the beginning.” – Relaxing underwater video shows cute animals drinking

If you actually want to feel better, though, remembering happy memories are a better coping mechanism than venting about everything wrong with your life.” – Happy Memories Really Are Relaxing According To Study, So Staying Positive Is Backed By Science
  • “It’s maybe hard to imagine now, but there was once a time when New York was a tranquil place, an island of lush greenery and singing birds and majestic mountain lions sipping out of clear freshwater ponds. That foreign-sounding land was known as Mannahatta—Lenape for ‘the island of many hills’—where the equivalent of noisy garbage men was the croaking bullfrog, which seems much preferable but really did drive some people crazy.” – Experience The Soothing Sounds Of 17th-Century Manhattan
  • “If you’re really looking to geek out over the benefits of meditation, researchers are currently exploring how meditation practices can change your brain’s gray and white matter (the part of your brain that’s in charge of all muscle control, sight, hearing, memory, emotions, speech, decision making, and self-control).” – 10 Meditation Tips from the Soothing Voice Behind the Headspace App
