I was looking through some pictures we took at the San Diego zoo and thought the animals have it right sometimes.
This panda was surrounded by people, but it was just relaxing and eating bamboo. There was another panda that was spread out taking a nap in the shade. Pandas know how to relax!

What
animals are cuter than a mommy and baby koala snuggling in a tree? Not
many- the zoo has a lot of animals, and these koalas were probably my
favorite, followed by the cappybaras.

Take
a cue from these animals. They live in a stressful environment with
people staring and yelling at them all day. What does the panda do? Kick
back, relax, and have a snack. What do the koalas do? Snuggle together
and take a nap.
Our
lives can be very stressful, a lot of the stress being caused by other
people, work, and the daily grind of life. Even in the midst of stress,
you can take a moment to put your feet up, take a deep breath, eat a
snack for energy, and relax. Doing this every day for a couple minutes
will help you get a little perspective, have a better attitude, and feel
more energized.
You
should also take some time every day to appreciate the people in your
life. Snuggle with the ones you love. Give your spouse a big hug and
kiss when you see them. Sit with your kids and have a good talk. Cuddle
your little baby close during nap time. Call your parents and have a
nice chat. Get a friend to go on a walk with you. There are lots of ways
to 'snuggle'.
Take time every day for yourself and for the ones you love in your life.

Great post! I like your observation that even though those cuties are being yelled at etc. all day, they take it in stride and chillaaaxxx :D Sometimes, I remember to just take a deep breath. Most of us shallow-breathe. Deeeeep Breath...haaa...feel better already!
Your comment made me take a deep breathe- so much more relaxed!
