The first posy in a thimble I made, to lift my mood during the pandemic. The flowers are all real.
When humans look at plants (even on a screen as here) we recover from stress 60% more quickly & the relaxation response is triggered in our brains.
Zoom in if you're strung out🌿

I love this set in my collection showing that magic moment when a cat sees you and decides to come visit. ✨

It's okay to have anxious thoughts. Recognise them, accept them, but don't give in to them.
