Wholesome Moments To Exercise The Feels

There are a few ways to feel better about things. One of them, probably the most effective way, is to actually take action in order to improve your life by solving a problem or gaining a skill. And through incremental change, we can all become fully realized versions of ourselves, living the meaningful lives that we set out to achieve. But that’s not something that happens overnight.

Another way is to bother your friends into complimenting you. Really twist their arm until they go “no honey, you’re the best. You try so hard. You deserve everything.” And while this is momentarily satisfying, it doesn’t really solve anything. And also you risk becoming a burden to your friends.

So if your goals aren’t being met as quickly as you’d like to, and you’ve pumped your friends for compliments to the point that they need a break, go ahead and explore option 3: Looking at pictures of dogs being like people, and other folks achieving their own goals. It works, and it gives your exhausted social circle some room away from your constant need for validation.

Here are some more wholesome moments to tap into the feels.
