This evening at 8 UK time I'll be opening my Etsy shop for limited ed’n signed art prints of my botanical/nature collection photographs & frameable greetings cards.
I create my photos using recent research to dial down fight or flight & lift your mood a little when you look at them.

What's the most brutal insult you've ever heard in your language? I think the most savagely specific one that I've ever encountered was from Finnish... sun gradu oli varmaan 20 sivua. It means "your thesis was probably 20 pages long"

Simple neuroscience-based hack for anxiety:
🌿go & be in a place with plants & trees for 15 mins
🌳You'll inhale plant oils(phytoncides) from foliage
