(Kuan Yin) ...managing our emotions is something of a full-time job: much of what we do – especially in our free time – is an attempt to manage mood... The art of soothing ourselves is a fundamental life skill; some psychoanalytic thinkers, such as John Bowlby and D. W. Winnicott, see this as one of the most essential of all psychic tools. The theory holds that emotionally sound infants learn to soothe themselves by treating themselves as their caretakers have treated them, leaving them less vulnerable to the upheavals of the emotional brain. (Daniel Goleman, Emotional Intelligence, p.57) I think people don't place a high enough value on how much they are nurtured by doing whatever it is that totally absorbs them. (Jean Shinoda Bolen)  Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.

(Rupi Kaur) The less things you have, the less things you have to take care of. That leaves time for the most important thing... you. (Buddha) It is important to take care of yourself by getting enough rest, eating well, and engaging in activities that bring you joy. Self-care can also involve setting healthy boundaries, saying no to things that drain your energy, and prioritising your needs.

A 2020 study from the University of Leeds found watching videos and images of cute animals can help reduce stress levels by up to 50%. The study was done in conjunction with Western Australia Tourism, which made sure that all study participants watched videos of the quokka, a small and very cute marsupial found in that region. It’s possible this was a stealth quokka marketing campaign, but other studies have also found cute animal videos provide stress-relieving benefits.
