The science is in on how COVID has affected our pets and the findings are quite interesting.
They found that pet owners who experienced a change in their mood and mindset found their pet's behavior changed as well. They found that out of a study of 5,000 participants 67% found a change in their pets when their mindset changed as well. Whether they became depressed or improved their mood the direct correlation to their pet’s behavior was key.
What does this mean to you or me? That science has proven our mood swings and mindset affect our pets directly. If you are an avid reader and/or follower of my posts and blogs, you know how much I’ve noted this very fact.
I have worked with hundreds of pets and have found their behavior is usually tied to their owners’ attitude and/or mindset. This simply tells us how our stress levels can affect those around us including our pets.
But how do you change your mindset or emotional state when you are struggling with bouts of depression or dread?
How do you change something that can seem impossible to do?
You may find these tips helpful:
Talk with someone who will listen. By getting it out of your head it can help you digest it and let go.
Refocus on what you want out of life. Ask yourself what you can do to be happier.
Set up a mantra to say every day. Find a saying or quote that sings to you and repeat it every day out loud.
Help others. They say nothing makes you feel better than helping another in need.
Find the time and ways to meditate allowing yourself to simply breathe.
I realize that when you are dealing with depression any change can seem like a daunting task. But if you aren’t currently happy, what do you have to lose? I realize it can’t always be easy to change old habits, but many times all it takes is your willingness to change.
If you need help with this, energy medicine can be a beneficial way of helping you let go of the negative thoughts and replace them with positive ones. Contact me to find out how.
Here’s to your mental health,
