My recommendation this month is to get a cute animal. This may be a stretch for some, especially because I know animal allergies exist, but even if it's not adopting an actual pet, watching cute animal videos is just as therapeutic! Watching cute animals, virtually or in-person, activates the amygdala and other emotional areas of the brain, which ramps up other cognitive systems. These cute animals help deliver the brain a miniscule blast of dopamine into our bodies which can help relieve stress!!! So go pull up a cute video on Youtube or maybe even go adopt a cute animal :)
