Feeling Stressed? Watch Some Sheep

Studies show that watching sheep significantly lowers your stress levels. 


When you interact with animals, your body releases oxytocin, also known as the "feel good" hormone. Technically you should watch 9.8 sheep graze for an hour for maximum stress relief. Okay. I made that up. But I can attest that there's nothing like listening to and watching animals chowing down to kick in some good old oxytocin. It's funny, but I have misophonia with people. But animals? The louder the better. I can watch and listen to my dogs eating for hours. But begin crunching your Doritos too loud or smacking your lips while eating, and I start silently plotting your demise. 

Have a wonderful (and stress-free) day!
