Small pleasures are good for us. Little bubbles of soul food amidst the day. They help moderate stress, improve our overall health and tend to make us a little nicer, they can also provide us with the odd little insight.
Animals
Kidnapping the cat for a cuddle always makes me feel better. Sitting with the rabbits for a few minutes and watching them demolish silverbeet and kale is surprisingly calming – and I’ve known people who were uninterested in rabbits before to have found just watching them very interesting and relaxing. A cuddle with my horses is always beneficial, and anyone who has a horse will know how good they smell.
